Oddly enough, I'm having the same problem. Basically, it's looping in
the 'terminate' static routine in ExecutorUtil.java. It calls
shutdownNow and waits 100msec for it to finish. If it doesn't, it just
tries it again.

So for some reason the ExecutorService isn't shutting down and it just
loops forever. I suppose we need to figure out why it isn't shutting
down, but even then, I don't think it should loop forever waiting for
shutdown to work. Maybe just loop a few times, then just kill it?
