I have this problem too, with sysvinit-2.58-2 and kernel 1.3.4x onwards,
1.3.57 now (don't remember if I had it earlier). I've had it since
upgrading from sysvinit-2.50. I found that if you shutdown from command
line, or has another process do it (like via the jsr daemon), it is less
likely to hang. (It doesn't lock up, actually, it is just in a state
where all gettys are killed and no way to switch runlevel).
