	We seem to be having a problem with /etc/shutdown.  To shut
	the system down, I usually use the command:

	/etc/shutdown -h +5 "comment"

	Shutdown starts, gives back its pid number, then just hangs there
	forever.  A "ps" of the pid shows the state "I <".  Has anyone
	else had this problem?  Is /etc/shutdown waiting for a resource it
	can not get?  As always, all suggestions or comments are welcomed.

					Thank you,
