Does it do this every time now?  What kernel are you using?  What binaries
are you using?  Have you tried reinstalling your kernel and the /sbin
binaries (e.g. /sbin/shutdown or /sbin/halt)?

If your kernel is new enough, I thing that you can type reboot at the
debugger prompt instead of 'c' and it might avoid the rather annoying
dump.  Also, does this machine reboot ok (i.e. is the problem only with
shutdown, or does it happen with reboot as well)?

Perhaps some of the above will help, or with a little more info, anyway...

Later.
