I would definitely call that a bug in NUnit.  A test function throwing an
exception (any exception) should not crash the unit-testing framework.  
That should just register as an error for the test function.

BTW, I'm assuming that this problem is coming up when we test the Mono
corlibs, right?  Not the MS reference libs?
