I put a "touch" on the second line of rc.shutdown, and it never got
invoked. 

I could imagine screwing-up the operation of rc.shutdown with a syntax
error, but I don't see how I could stop it being run at all. As I
understand it rc.shutdown is run from init if the file exists.  init
itself doesn't seem to have been modified recently, so I'm out of ideas.
