What's the status on this bug.  It is causing our organization a great
deal of pain.  We have to manually log into our build servers at least
once a day to clear out all the nunit-agent.exe processes that didn't
close properly.  It is very frustrating.

Title:
  nunit-agent hangs after tests complete

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  If a test fixture is being run in a different process (using nunit-
  agent), every now and then nunit-console will print out the results of
  the tests and exit, but the nunit-agent process will hang around
  indefinitely.

  I believe the issue is with .NET Remoting, specifically the
  TestAgent/RemoteTestAgent.Stop operations.  Stop is marked as a one-
  way call, which tells the .NET Framework that the call can be
  completed asynchronously.  However, this also means that when nunit-
  console exits immediately after calling Stop, the message may never
  actually be sent to the nunit-agent.

  Recommend removing the OneWay attribute so that the call is completed
  synchronously and thereby guaranteed to be delivered.
