We are seeing what might be a related issue in that the agent hangs and
displays a Segmentation Fault error message. We are able to reproduce
this on a single Windows 2003 R2 machine; however, other machines with
the same operating system do not hang and/or yield a segmentation fault.
Like the others, we are running the x86 version and are using
2.5.9.10348. Also, the failures inconsistently happen for the same set
of tests.

If there is any more information I can provide, please let me know!

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.
