Public bug reported: I have been unable to find a reason why but Lucid is having issues shutdown down on all systems I have upgraded. When the reboot command is called almost all processes are killed, including my active ssh sessions. I can immediately log back in via ssh and I find the system hung on `dhclient3 -r -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0` with only a few more processes running, automount, rpc.statd, portmap. The only thing that will allow the system to finish shutting down is killing dhclient3, killing any other process doesn't change the state of the hang. I have tested the networking scripts outside of shutdown and they are all functioning properly. Running strace on the dhclient3 PID leads to nothing stopping immediately on a read. Ps shows the process as in a sk_wait state.
