Hi,
Today i accidentilly stumbled over a "bogon" in our linux.ko
syscall-mapping.
Apparently the reboot-command of Linux's "libc" gets mapped to our own
libc's reboot-command, which sounds reasonable at a first glance.
I noticed though that Linux's reboot-command has additional functionality
that is (as far as i can tell) not available in our native libc.
One of those features is "disbale reboot-key-sequence".
I am almost positive that the application in question was trying to issue
one of these unsupported features ... which caused our native reboor-call
to fall back to it's default behaviour ... "Reboot the System"
