Hi Tor

Thanks for replying. Nope, no bluetooth, no 802.11 up, no wireless keyboard.
It just as if the kernel / system "decided" to shut down.

The strange thing is (and this puzzles me) that it was a completely normal
shutdown! It did NOT crash, it came up with clean filing systems and no
auto-fsck was done. 

It was as if it just decided to go down. I checked the startup and power
monitoring scripts too, no UPS is connected to the system that could
conceivably cause a false shutdown due to a "UPS is going to quit, I've
gotta quit beforehand" type situation.
