To be correct: I did this once in a hurry and it happened -- short
said: It happened only once yet.

Can't reproduce it at the moment, either. :-/

That's the most important thing. Good to hear that it does normally. :-)

Hmmmm, can't remember that it had high load. A few xterm with ssh
connections, GNU Emacs and Conkeror (Gecko based web browser) were
open at that time IIRC. But X was already finished and I already saw
the text console but -- there you seem to be right -- not any sign of
a shutdown process on vt1. Maybe a cron-job or so were running.

As soon as I can reproduce it reliably. ;-)
