I left a render on overnigth to render.. I came in today and it had reached SL 25 over 15hrs..
I HIT STOP cuz i need it to stop.. so i get my resources back.. and so i can play w simulens settings/etc..
I hit STOP and it said STOPPING..

But now it is STILL rendering now after 2hours.. SL 26.29 time 17h45min.. and its STIL SAYS "STOPPING"
IS this a BUG or will engine alwasy take forver to STOP after high times/SL?

Confirmed. It has happened here too. Especially on high resolution renders that have been rendering for a long time.

Same here, with big renders or after a long rendering time.

Seems to happen randomly, but already occured 3-4 times in my case with different renders.
Not a memory issue.

From my experience, the render seems to stall when updating to a new SL: processor usage drops to one core, and then stopping the render is impossible (it says "stopping" but nothing happens and I have to force quit).
