Tried all fixes, submitting bug reports, etc.

Now it looks like Launchd.peruser.501 is hanging the machine on shutdown (dirty/idle exit unsupported). Anyone know how to kill it? Or is Launchd.peruser.501 the process that tries to kill other launchd processes? I've tried setting a 2 second timeout for launchd.peruser.501 and no improvement.

Can anyone explain the function of this process?

Looks like the problem is just in Launchd, period. If it's not appleevents, securityd, etc., it's some other launchd process that hangs.
