Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions and insight to the problem.

In my case:

1.  The problem was with *any* "shutdown", from the command line, via
halt or shutdown, or through menus of the window system.

2.  The comment by joe@jretrading.com about unmount issues rings a bell,
I think I saw something about failure to sync at one point.

3.  I did try 'halt -p', same result.

4.  There have been two or three updates since I sent my original
question, and the system is now halting and powering off as expected.

Bob
