Comment 35 for bug 818177

BTW - I've also looked at how Fedora 15 stops udev with dracut and using Stefans terminology, they "club it to death" like we used to. They also pepper the code with frequent calls to "settle" and add a few sub-second sleeps here and there which feels horribly wrong IMHO.

I have an off-beat idea as to how we could establish if messages are getting lost which I may be forced to pursue unless I can overcome the Heisenberg nature of debugging udevd.
