Bugzilla Bug 201749

the following stop() function is run by /etc/init.d/svscan:

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping service scan services"
        svc -dx /service/* 2>/dev/null
        eend $?
        ebegin "Stopping service scan logging"
        svc -dx /service/*/log 2>/dev/null
        eend $?
        ebegin "Stopping service scan"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/bin/svscan \
                --pidfile /var/run/svscan.pid
        eend $?
}

in between the time the supervise processes are killed by svc -dx, and the time
the svscan process is killed, svscan may spawn new supervise processes, since
that's what it's supposed to do every 5 seconds.  so you can potentially wind
up with a lot of unkilled daemons at shutdown time.

the fix is simple, just kill svscan first:

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping service scan"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/bin/svscan \
                --pidfile /var/run/svscan.pid
        eend $?
        ebegin "Stopping service scan services"
        svc -dx /service/* 2>/dev/null
        eend $?
        ebegin "Stopping service scan logging"
        svc -dx /service/*/log 2>/dev/null
        eend $?
}

No idea what installs /etc/init.d/svscan; reopen with exact ebuild name and
version.
