Hi Joe,

I think this is an other issue, because in my case everything returned 
properly.
You can find out more about the problem by watching the running processes:

watch 'ps -aux | grep username'

while beeing logged in as a different user than "username". You can see 
a list of non-terminated
processes then. One of them might be the problem. Kill them after 
another and find out
which process is really your problem.... Hint: Try it more than one time 
to find the right candidate...
