Might be some peculiarity of Ubuntu or my two Dell desktop PCs, but the system logs do in fact show that they are waiting for the tun0 device to close down and that it is "busy". I've waited as long as 30 minutes after the SIMH module was closed, and still no shutdown for Linux.
The desktop machines have SIMH 3.8 rather than 3.9, which might also make some difference. I will try the bridge again, but previous attempts on the laptop failed to work for either the host or the guest system, using the same sequence of steps to set up the bridge that work with the desktop machines and wired ethernet.
