cocoa app is cancelling shutdown

Hi,

I have a cocoa app which is cancelling shutdown (message in german is
"das Programm hat das Beenden abgebrochen"), and I don't know why.  It
also only happens sometimes.  I am trying to shutdown with the
applescript "tell application "System Events" to shut down", and I
can't figure out what is causing the shutdown to cancel.

The app delegate's applicationShouldTerminate: is apparently not being
called, so its not that.  My app delegate doesn't define anything else
besides applicationDidFinishLaunching: , so it doesn't seem to be the
delegate.

I have a couple ideas but neither has suggested a possible fix:

First is that app in question is a cocoa app that previously was a
command line app, and so it is *not* calling NSApplicationMain.  It
starts its own run loop.  Although I'm calling CFRunLoopRunInMode in
the loop, could there be some other something that I need to do in the
run loop that would potentially cause a shutdown to cancel?  Before
when this was a command line tool, this shutdown problem never
occurred.

Second is that this app is being launched programmatically from
another app, using [NSTask launchedTaskWithLaunchPath:arguments:].  If
I launch the app directly, it does not seem to impede shutdown.  Is
there somehow a way for a retained subprocess to cause a shutdown to
abort?

Thanks for any insight,
Elizabeth
