If a pnunit test references pnunit.framework.dll, it does not correct the error.
We need a copy of pnunit-agent.exe in the bin directory.
If a pnunit test does not refer to pnunit.framework.dll,
it is still loaded through AssemblyResolver.
So I decided to abandon the link to pnunit.framework.dll.

The attached archive is a script for bash.
Run from the directory of the project (SimpleNUnitTest)
"./agent" - launching pnunit-agent.exe from the current directory SimpleNUnitTest/bin
"./agent2" - launching pnunit-agent.exe from the current directory of pnunit-agent.exe
"./launch" - runs the test.

If you use the original NUnit-2.6.0.11340, then the command "./Launch":
1. works properly only if there is a SimpleNUnitTest/bin directory for both files pnunit.framework.dll and pnunit-agent.exe
2. freezes in all other cases.

If for NUnit-2.6.0.11340 I apply the suggested fix then
the command "./launch" works fine without any additional files or links.

I agree.
Unfortunately I have a project that involves a large number of simple tests related to I/O on the network (check the behavior of a network API).
This leads to a very great running time for all the tests. I didn't find another tool for parallel execution.

Title:
  pnunit-agent can't run a tests from another folder

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  if the assembly `pnunit.tests.dll` located in another directory then
  the process `pnunit-agent.exe` can not download the file `pnunit-
  agent.exe` as a dll library.

  I recommend the following modification of the file:
