>Description:

When I attempt to shut down my IBM ThinkPad 365XD using "halt -q", it
invariably panics during the shutdown process.  Although "halt -q" is
supposed to be an "ungraceful" shutdown, I don't think it is supposed
to be quite this ungraceful.

   # halt -q
   syncing disks... 2 1 done
   uvm_fault(0xf0482e00, 0x0, 0, 1) -> 1
   kernel: page fault trap, code=0
