I am certainly not suggesting that recovery can't handle a crash--I'm just trying to make sure that I understand what shutdown abort does. Some posts have implied that it's no big deal, which is counter-intuitive to me. To me, crashing a program on purpose seems like a drastic measure. No doubt desperate times can call for desperate measures, but I would have guessed that optimally, you'd try immediate first & then abort if immediate takes too long. But I'm just learning this stuff...
