Ok, that verifies that removing that last line of /etc/inittab was a
kludge fix, and we still haven't figured out the *real* question;
namely, *why* are you at run-level 5 when you are asking for run-level
3?
Somebody must be throwing you into run-level 5, but who? Why? What
did you do to deserve this?
A possible way to find out is to do a
ps alwf > /root/ps-output
when you go to run-level 5; eg, put this:
:5:respawn:ps alwf > /root/ps-output
in your /etc/inittab. Then we can at least see what's going on when
this happens.
Also, your /var/log/messages might show something about switching to
run-level 5. Perhaps it will give a clue to who is doing it?

| Hey, I'm willing to indulge you guys quite a bit for helping me out. <g>
| Here is what "runlevel" says when X is running: # 5
| And here's what it says with just the console after I exit X completely: #5

| So I guess you're right about the run levels being broken.
