Seen it?  Certainly.  Mostly when running at a raised securelevel.  It
is one of the *intended* results of running at a raised securelevel.

If you didn't know that, read the man page for init(8) so that you'll
know *what* securelevels are supposed to do.  If you really want to
normally run at high securelevels, then you'll need to drop to
single-user mode to perform this operation.
