Error 53 is returned by the InitiateSystemShutdown function if you
don't hold the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege.  What's weird is that
this fact should actually have resulted in another error message:

  shutdown: required privilege not held: ...

I have no idea why this occurs, sorry.  Rebuilding shutdown for
debugging and stepping through might give a clue, perhaps.
