I'm glad that you isolated the culprit causing the failure to power-off
in runlevel 5, but not runlevel 3. Hopefully action is taken to fix
the closing down of services on shutdown.
It is interesting to see a runlevel specific problem. Does runlevel 6
always shut down the same processes? Or is shutdown aware of which
runlevel it is shutting down from?
