Hmm. /me thinks. Do you use svscan to start up your supervise processes?
There was a time when I neglected to have svscan killed off first, so
when I started killing off the supervise processes, they get respawned.
This, needless to say, does not make for a smooth shutdown.

All this is just a wild guess, of course.
