visual-studio-2010

In Visual Studio 2010, I have a number of unit tests. When I run multiple tests at one time using test lists, I sometimes reveive the following error for one or more of the tests:

The agent process was stopped while the test was running.

It is never the same test failing, and if I try to run the test again, it succeeds.

I found this bug report on Connect, which seems to be the same problem, but it does not offer a solution.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour ? How I can avoid it ?
