It acts like it is going to shutdown, but doesn't.  The display goes 
white, but no messages ever appear and it never shuts down or reboots. 
When pfil is not installed, the screen goes white, it says stopping 
print services, followed by other messages then reboots, as it should.

After I've issued a shutdown command or just any time with pfil loaded?
