I've attached the debug trace.

The line where the failure occurs is this:

/usr/share/util-vserver/vserver.stop: line 100: 30935 Killed
> "${IONICE_CMD[@]}" "${NICE_CMD[@]}" "${NETNS_CMD[@]}" "${CHBIND_\
> CMD[@]}" "$_VSPACE" --enter "$S_CONTEXT" "${OPTS_VSPACE[@]}"

> --silent\
> -- $_VCONTEXT $SILENT_OPT --migrate $OPT_VCONTEXT_CHROOT --xid
> "$S_CONTEXT" -- "${INITCMD_STOP[@]}"

I took a snapshot of the process table on both the host and vserver before
shutting it down, and at that time there was no process 30935, so I really
don't understand where that's coming from.
