sigkill

since systemd-205 I notice an abnormal delay during shutdown and reboot, systemd-208 seems to have problems to shutdown some processes,

for example under an i686 installation of archlinux ( laptop pentium 4 2.4 Ghz, KDE 4.11 ) I notice that systemd waits 15 seconds when he tries to shutdown the process "kdesud" :

Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
Sending SIGKILL to remaining procesess...
Sending SIGKILL to PID 1291 (kdesud)

with another installation of i686 archlinux under virtualbox it's now another process : VBoxClient :

Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
Sending SIGKILL to remaining procesess...
Sending SIGKILL to PID 692(VBoxClient)

if I shutdown manually theses processes ( kdesud, VboxClient ) under KDE before the shutdown then systemd-208 can do his job without problems, no delays on shutdown,

so I think there is a problem, something is wrong in the source code,

sometimes a long delay is add to the "15 seconds" delay, systemd waits for something, after one or two minutes systemd continues the shutdown and I can see the "15 seconds delay" ( when the line "Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes" is showed )

there is no error message in log files,

some archlinux users report similar bugs :
