That pretty much sums it up for me, too. After two days of trying to get
the Finder to hang on shutdown, I could only get it do so after exiting
certain public domain programs, or with certain NDAs installed. Apparently
it's these applications that are not properly cleaning up after themselves
that's causing the system to lock up on shut-down. I hereby publicly
apologize for blaming it on the Finder :)
