The intent, which is correct, is that NM itself shuts down these subordinate
processes as part of the network shutdown *after* /etc/init.d/sendsigs is
run, instead of having them killed in an uncontrolled manner by
/etc/init.d/sendsigs and breaking the network.

Perhaps NM is failing to shut down the processes; but the sendsigs handling
itself remains correct. /etc/init.d/sendsigs should not be allowed to
indiscriminately terminate processes that are needed for the network to run;
these processes need to be ended later, after /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh has
unmounted all network filesystems.
