Gerald, it's like the board hangs at power down, but I can not be 100%
sure. The reason why I "assume" it's at power down, is that the heartbeat
blink stops, but the rest of the LEDs stay on, and the ethernet port light
still blinks.

The board I experienced this on last night is an Element14 RevC, but I do
also have a circuitco A5A that exhibits the same thing.
