Kannel Shutdown bug report.

Ok, I've looked through the users list, asked for others,
and it seems at least 3 people have seen this bug.

So here's a report, forwarded from my users list version.
Similar problems have been
reported by Jacob Madsen and Dermot Reynolds.

Jacob gets it only with AT2, I get the same problem using only emi2.

Jacob Madsen adds that running the start-stop-daemon 3 times
seems to kill all the bearerboxes properly...
