So, I'm currently sitting stationary in an empty sector. I attempt to logoff. I see:

*** 10 seconds to logoff
*** Logoff aborted.

Why? The ship isn't moving, I'm not providing any control input, and yet... no logoff for me. I'm stuck in here until I either hard-kill my client (which can cause settings changes, for example, to be lost), or I just leave my client idle and wait for the inevitable boot.

If, on the other hand, I was told "logoff aborted due to control input", then at least I can narrow down what's going on and try to fix it, so I can logoff as requested.

I have had this problem a number of times, I would also like it to give a reason. +1
