On this occasion the netbook isn't going with me. I just wanted to
avoid the choice between forcing a shutdown by poweroff or leaving it
running for 4 days while I'm away.
Seriously, if there is a genuine problem here we need to get to the
bottom of it for the sake of others, so from Wednesday I'll do any
testing you need.
