Now I restarted the GUI runner and it no longer automatically reloads
the test assembly when this option is unchecked!  Okay, whatever it is,
this option is clearly messed up in some way.

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: New

Bug description:
I'm using nunit to do unit testing for an ASP.NET MVC 2 project. I have a solution with two projects, one being the actual application, and the other being the unit tests. I use the nunit.exe gui to run the unit tests. I invoke the tests by opening up the dll produced by building the project.

The first few times everything runs smoothly, with nunit.exe automatically reloading the project when I make changes and rebuild.  However, this starts to take a longer and longer amount of time, and eventually, it will get into loop where it says "Reloading..." and the window flickers for a second, says "Reloading...", lather rinse repeat.  The behavior is very non-deterministic from what I can observe so far.  Sometimes it's fine for ages, sometimes it dies immediately.  Perhaps particular change to the project cause massive problems in nunit.exe.  I am happy to investigate if someone can point me in the right direction.
