c# winforms in the debugger… context switch deadlock detected

Question

So I'm running a unit test, it's a "bad" unit test which takes a LONG time to run. (which used to work just fine)

Now I'm getting the Context switch deadlock Detected error, I'm guessing because it's such a long process (20 min) to do the whole test.

Much like described here: http://bytes.com/topic/c-sharp/answers/471705-context-switch-deadlock-detected

Is there anything I can do to get the unit test to run without the error?

If there is nothing else i can take it out of the tests and write a littel wrapper app, but we only do these tests once or twice a year, and that seems like alot of work...

Thanks,

As Hans said, if you run the Unit tests that are running slow, instead of debuging them it works fine.

In our weird cheezy case that's fine.
