 1. Log into a console session
  2. Shutdown from the XO palette, this will fail
  3. Launch the Terminal activity
  4. Check in the console that python-shell is using all the cpu it can
  5. Check in ~/.sugar/default/logs that shell.log is growing fast

 I'd call this a blocker because, although the failed shutdown needs to be
 fixed before release, 5 means that NAND could be quickly filled causing
 the XO to not be able to boot. So I think we should verufy the cause of
 this and make sure that this code is more robust to this kind of
 situations.
