I've noticed a similar problem, with the same frequency, which I didn't
notice prior to 1.3.5x. When I use halt to shut the system down, I get
something like "Unable to determine runlevel." This despite the fact
that runlevel always returns the correct info. This is with
sysvinit-2.58-1. Did I set something up incorrectly?
