Jails getting stuck in existence

[Peter Schuller]

Hello,

something I have noticed several times is that sometimes jails won't
die. That is, you start them and they show up as normal with jls. After
stopping them, they sometimes hang on in the output of jls even though,
judging by ps, there is not a single process running that belongs to the
jail.

Sometimes it seems to drop off after some considerable amount of time;
not sure if this is the case always.

Can anyone shed some light on this? It makes some scripting a bit
difficult if you cannot rely on jls to tell you whether a jail is truly
running.
