Most likely feature by design. What you see in documentation for C library is not what your C code will actually use. For example when you write errno in C (that looks like global variable access) it is actually a call to __thread_safe_errno() function. Have you tried calling InitiateSystemShutdownA mentioned in the documentation? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
