Re: herd stop hangs

a random stab: with custom service code, it's possible to put shepherd into a 
state where it doesn't respond to herd remote requests anymore (nor 
shutdown/reboot requests). try if your shepherd works fine otherwise, e.g. with 
other services. if not, then the issue might be in the code that starts your 
service.

unfortunately i can't remember anymore what caused this for me, and shepherd 
has also seen a few fixes since then.
