This is bugging me since months. I always thought that to be a problem
with nfsd ... (this was on my little older box with
blfs-bootscripts-20060624).

Didn't work for me. So I checked the 20060910 version, which uses ${2}
to communicate the signal to use, and no longer waiting. BUT: killing
nfsd has now a [FAIL] at the end. The nfsd _are_ killed, though.
I've checked the nfsd man page and found another method to stop nfsd:
"/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd 0". Together with "evaluate_retval" this looks like
it works reliably (and quick) for me.
