Probably some process refuses to terminate (bug).
They die after a minute because that's when the shutdown timeout kicks
in (if all the processes and the cleanup take longer then 1 minute,
sr/ser will kill itself). You can change this timeout using exit_timeout
 in sr.cfg.

If it happens again, could you try to attach with gdb to the processes
eating the cpu and send me some back traces and the output of print
pt[process_no]? You could try using a larger exit_timeout (e.g.
exit_timeout=1800), just to  be sure you'll catch them.
