The only time this would occur was after the shutdown sequence. This
error would pop up right after the system said to power down the
machine. I do not have all the numbers written down any more but some
of what it said was:

segmentation fault
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/S00halt
line 1 2922
halt -i -d -p

On the surface I assumed it had something to do with the halt command
parameters. Another thing of interest is it did not affect anything.
That is to say nothing got corrupted and a fsck would not be done on
power up. That sort of makes sense as the error occurred AFTER
everything was killed.

Anyway it was not high on my list as the machine is up most all the
time. Then today I decided to add another hard drive. Prior to this I
had the original hard drive and cdrom on the same ide channel. So I
left the two drives as they were and popped the second one on the
other ide channel.

Much to my surprise, I shut the system down and no segmentation
fault. Just to be sure I tried a shutdown several times and still no
segmentation fault. The system in question is an AMD K6 333, 64 MB
ram, VIA chipset.
