I've just run your testcase against the latest default branch in our
tree and the shutdownCompleted() method appears to get called.

Although I am not aware of the specifics, I know that Hubert has down
a lot of work on shutdown negotiation in the Java client subsequent to
the 1.4.0 release, so he *may* have encountered this scenario, but
I'll let him comment on that.

So your short term solution would be to get a copy of the latest
source and try that.

HTH,
