     Thank you.  It's always nice to see requested changes made.  I
know certain people see no need for this (and will probably consider it
bad); but, I've seen too many problems caused by shutdown scripts that
never exit.  The pratical reality is that I consider this to be
essential if there are going to be shutdown scripts.  It is
unacceptable for any program to stop the system from shutting down
cleanly.
