It might have been a fluke, so far I have not been able to get it to work again. And ctrl-alt-del said it would shut down the system but then I got several messages saying PID (blah) appears to be hung. and then the system locked tight, had to power it off. I will keep an eye on it tho, and do some testing, and if I can get it to repeat I will file a bug report about it.
