There should only be one unless you are using the multiple process
setting, then there
would be one for each assembly. When reloading, the same process
should  be reused
unless you make changes to settings that require a new process - for
example if you
change the version of .NET to be used. Even if a new process is needed, the old
one should be shut down.

Have you tried this with the latest 2.5.9 snapshot?

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework: Confirmed

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.
