NetBSD/i386 1.3E from ~4/2/1998 on a P2 system. APM in kernel.

>Description:
	Killing the halt program causes system to stop.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Type halt at shell. Decide there's one more thing you'd like to
	do first, and ^C it. System hangs at that point. Hitting ^T
	(SIGINFO) shows my shell waiting on "inode". System stays in that
	state forever (I left it 15 minutes).

	This is probably very timing dependent. It may be easier to find
	by code inspection for implications of a process calling reboot()
	then receiving a signal.
>Fix:
	Unknown.
