Ummm... what did you expect to happen?  'Machine-Close-Power off' is
essentially the same as ripping the power cord out of a physical
machine.  It's designed to stop the guest system no matter what: even if
the guest is trapped in so tight a loop it can't respond to anything else=
=2E

'Machine-Close-Send shutdown' is more like pressing the power button on
the front of most modern machines, in that what it does is signal the
guest OS to shut itself off and power down the system after that.  You
can achieve the same effect from within the guest OS by typing:

  shutdown -p now

'Machine-Close-Send shutdown' is what you want to use routinely.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
