Thanks for the report.  This only happens on Win2K apparently.  On XP
and 2K3 the system powers off as one would expect.  However, the
InitiateSystemShutdown function is the better choice usually because
it allows to warn all users and to abort the shutdown.

I've uploaded a new version of shutdown which allows to use ExitWindowsEx
on NT systems by giving the -x option to shutdown.
