The API reboot tests will hang indefinitely if the container fails to
reboot properly.
This can happen for a variety of reasons. The most likely are that the
container in
question does either not have its signal handlers set up correctly at
the time it receives
the reboot signal or that this is a broken busybox implementation that
doesn't correctly
handle reboots.
