NUnit Tests generated via SpecFlow crash Icarus and Gallio.echo

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build solution
2. In Icarus, add Bowling.Specflow.dll via Add Files Dialogue
3. Boom - exception generated.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The stack trace generated is:

A fatal exception occurred while exploring tests.  Possible causes include
invalid test runner parameters.
Gallio.Model.ModelException: An exception occurred while invoking a test

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Gallio 3.1 Build 397. Recreated this issue on Windows 7 Pro and Win XP Pro

Please provide any additional information below.

SpecFlow is a BDD tool that outputs TestFixtures in either XUnit or NUnit.
Gallio runs the tests generated for XUnit just fine.
Resharper unit test runner, TestDriven.net, and Nunit test runner all work
fine with this dll.

Would be nice to have this working, as Gallio has nice reporting, and all
round user xp.

Repro attached - please let me know if you need any more info.

The Gallio runners execute tests in an isolated process by default. I don't 
know exactly why but it seems to be not supported by the SpecFlow engine (nor 
in an isolated AppDomain)

As a workaround, you might use a local test runner instaead ("/runner:local" at 
command line or "Tools -> Options -> Test Runner Factory" in Icarus)
