Out of Memory Exception on NUnit Version 2.2.9

I wanted to take the time to thank you for responding to my Out of Memory
Exception Issue.
A couple of us here at Progressive took initiative to clean up a lot of our
code, by disposing objects & setting them equal to null at
TestFixtureTearDown.  We also did considerable refactoring.  By doing so,
it freed up a tremendous amount of memory, & NUnit even runs 5 minutes
faster!  It was truely poor programming on our part, & lack of knowledge on
how NUnit works.
Now that our test platform is stablized, I will see if our team can upgrade
to a more rescent version of NUnit.

Thank You!

On the other hand, NUnit 2.2.9 is now 18 months old with
9 production releases since, so it wouldn't hurt to
try the current 2.4.7 release.
