Sorry I may have lost part of my understanding of this thread.  Alan
seems to recommend fixing problems possibly related to SHUTDOWN ABORT
with another SHUTDOWN ABORT? hmmmm

My original recommendation is to limit the usage of SHUTDOWN ABORT to
when it is absolutely needed.  Yes agreed it often does not cause major
problems but it is a tool that should be reserved for when it is needed
not coded on a routine basis.
