Well, both failure modes happen with "shutdown" mode as well (the S|
freeze with yesterday's git, too), but still not reproducibly.  When
s2disk is stuck in "Snapshotting system", the system is not completely
dead, it echoes line feeds and Ctrl-C at least (as added to #14504).

I wonder what you did if the issue was reproducible...  Is that totally
unapplicable if the problem happens with 10% probability only?  Slow,
sure, but until I manage to set up an automated testing bench...
