Why not put an implementation in libutil or some other place
where they can be shared.

Is there any portion of the process state that the shutdown code
could monitor to see if this is the reason for the delay?  Picking
an arbitrary number feels wrong.  It would be nice if processes
could provide some type of status that, if left unchanged for
a period of time, indicated they were stuck and waranted a shot
through the head.
