Yeah, I'm not sure how Quicksilver could be the problem either. Especially given how long I've been using it with no issues. I've looked in the logs and unfortunately there's no lead-up or strange notices before meltdown. The only log entry related to Quicksilver is the "awake" notice after it comes back. The only real indication I have that Quicksilver may indeed be the issue is that I'll quit Quicksilver for a few days, have no shutdowns, open it and start using it and have one within a day or two. But that's certainly not definitive.
I am running 1.1.3, looking forward to 1.2.0. Anyway, seems like this is just my computer's issue. Thanks for the response!
