Strange, and I don't see how Quicksilver could cause the unexpected restarts. Sounds like the guy was just having a laugh at your expense.
If the guy came to some logical conclusion, then he probably looked at the log files in Console.app. Can you look in there and look for either some Quicksilver crash logs or 'OS related' crash logs. The latter would be more useful, but which log file in particular to look at could be tricky to work out. You could start with looking in system.log (still from within Console.app) and looking for any messages just before/after the shutdown. Just to make sure - you are using the latest version of QS: 1.1.3 from http://qsapp.com ?
