It was trial and error - I knew that I could get it to shutdown OK
sometimes, depending on what I did.  I first watched a shutdown
carefully while it happened.  To do that, hit the <Esc> key to switch
from the normal shutdown screen to the one that actually details what
is going on.  That showed me the approximate point of the hang.  So I
went through the things that the shutdown process shuts down
automatically at that time and tried to stop them manually.  The lirc
shutdown hung.  But I discovered it was the /etc/init.d/lirc script
itself that was hanging, not the lirc daemon.  I have always meant to
go back again and see if I could work out the cause for this, but have
never found the time.
