I was toying around with rendering a set of frames from a Python script:
----------------------------------------------------
t_shutdown.py
----------------------------------------------------
import bpy
scene = bpy.context.scene
render = scene.render
render.resolution_x = 960
render.resolution_y = 540
render.resolution_percentage = 100
render.image_settings.file_format = 'PNG'
for frame in [1, 4, 6]:
scene.frame_current = frame
render.filepath = '/tmp/doh%04d.png' % frame
bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True, animation=False)
----------------------------------------------------
When I run this script with blender -b -P ./t_shutdown.py the rendering
sometimes hangs at exit, sometimes segfaults at exit and sometimes succeeds.
I tried to get some stacktraces, seems to be something to do with shutdown
and unloading NVidia libraries:
Hang (stack trace from gdb -p <pid>):

I see this behaviour on an Ubuntu 10.04, x86_64 system with NVidia 285.05.09 drivers. Tried with newer drivers, 290.10, but same problem.
This might be a driver issue, as I don't see this happening on a different system, which has NVidia 260.19.26 drivers.
