I am not certain, but I have waited upwards of 5 minutes or more. In no case
have I left the system alone and come back to find it shutdown. I cannot
wait forever for it to shutdown either.
I don't know why it's doing this suddenly - but I imagine I have fixed it. I
dorked something up real nice today and am reinstalling from scratch as I
write this (this happens about once a month or so for me).
