Hi Walter,

Try this :

1. Shut down abort.
2. Startup open
3. shutdown immedate *right after* the startup

If 3) shuts down quickly and easily, you have no problem. Then the lag was caused by "natural" things like rollbacks.

If the shutdown in 3) hangs, you may have a problem. I have seen such problems arise in connection with an upgrade which was interrupted. Have you updated your system recently ?
