Bad file descriptor on reboot

[Andrew LaPierre]

This is a fresh install of 14.04 LTS Server on VMware ESXi 5.1 or 5.5, I get the same symptom on both servers.

I installed with OpenSSH and LAMP packages. After the install, the server reboots and comes up OK. I login, immediately type "sudo reboot now" and it begins stopping services. After "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility [OK]" I get
[38.342187] init: Error while reading from descriptor: Bad file descriptor. Then it kicks me back to a prompt.

Mmm, not sure how this got tagged for lxc package and I don't know how to fix that. :-/

Ok, it seems the "now" part of the reboot command is causing the problem. I guess that's not needed and causes it to hang if I put it on. Perhaps adding some sort of deprecation warning/error would be good?
