[Users] VE fails to stop

[Kir Kolyshkin]

This is probably a problem with VE start, not stop. VE started badly and 
can not stop.

This is known issue (a bad interaction of Ubuntu's upstart (init 
replacement) and vzctl) which is fixed in upcoming vzctl release, see 
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/662

Now you have three options:
1. Wait for next vzctl release (should happen real soon now).
2. Replace upstart with init (sysvinit) inside a VE
3. Rebuild vzctl either from GIT or just adding the patch from git 
linked from bug #622.
