Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with upstart 1.11-0ubuntu1 and if a script with a wrong expect stanza is started and tried to stop (so that the stop hangs) the system is unable to shutdown anymore. I'm seeing the message that the system will now shutdown on tty1 but nothing will happen.

Here is an example script:

exec sh -c 'sleep 1'
expect daemon

On starting and stopping it the system will hang on the next shutdown.
