Public bug reported:

Submitting the 'close site' button in the admin section tries to close
all the open sessions, one by one, using session_destroy().  Turns out
this is okay for suspending a single user, but it wasn't a great idea
when you're closing the site & need to wipe out lots of sessions.

Maybe we should change it to just delete the session files from disk;
it'd be faster.  Don't know enough about php sessions to be sure whether
it'd work; I guess it's possible they're just cached somewhere and get
written out again periodically.
