there is something in my system that updated recently that has since broken 
vserver's ability to report shutting down guests. I get this kind of report 
on every type of guest. it also appears to be a random thing. other times i 
shut guests down and i get no errors. this variable behavior was only noticed 
yesterday because we are moving physical drives around so we have had to 
stop/start the server otherwise we may not stop any for months. it also waits 
the 'timeout' time before reporting.

as in example below, after this message i try a vps ax|grep 3910 and i find no 
processes with that context running! an immediate restart is error free.

valkyrie boinc # vserver cacti stop
A timeout occured while waiting for the vserver to finish and it will
be killed by sending a SIGKILL signal. The following process list
might be useful for finding out the reason of this behavior:

Vserver '/etc/vservers/cacti' still running unexpectedly; please investigate 
it manually...

essentially when it behaves like this, every shutdown says it is still running
does anyone in gentoo-vserver land have any clue what may be causing this 
apparently false report?

my util-vserver version is 0.30.212-r2

kernel version

2.6.19-vs2.2.0-rc2
