Hm, okay, so that suggests that (1) browser-switchboard isn't picking up the cue to send the exit_browser method call, (2) MicroB doesn't always close in response to the exit_browser call, or (3) the method call is getting lost in transit.

Just rebooted; no attempts to open any browser.

Yet there seems to be a browser-switchboard running before you start one from the shell? Somewhat strange.

With continuous mode off, it's normal for browser-switchboard to exit after closing MicroB (and possibly trying to kill browserd), so I'm not sure why you had to Ctrl-C it here.

Bother; that supports idea (2) or (3) above ("Closing MicroB" should be printed right before the method call, and the error message comes from the attempt to kill browserd, which occurs after the method call is issued). I was hoping to avoid a straight kill() for fear of data loss, but it looks like we'll have to see if that works more reliably.
