	Could this in fact be a bug? I haven't powered up my VAXstation in
about 6 months, but I seem to remember several snapshots in which if you
issued 'shutdown -h now' the system would not do anything, it would just
keep going as if nothing happened; but if I did 'reboot' it would act like
a shutdown -h and halt the system.
	Has anyone else run into this? I'm using a KA-42A v1.2 (VAXstation
3100/m30)
