I've exactly the same problems (with 2 machines). Do you have /usr on separate partitions (maybe on hda7 or sda7)? When I put /usr on the rootfs rebooting and shutdown works perfect. > 1.

Bogus stack limit or frame pointer, fp=0xbfffe078, stack_bottom=0x635dcc90, thread_stack=65536, aborting backtrace. Trying to get some variables. Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort... thd->query at 0x623fb710 is invalid pointer thd->thread_id=-741158448 ..... Hopefully these problems could be fixed soon. Dirk
