I'd recommend rebooting with "shutdown -r" rather than "reboot" unless
you have a good reason to do otherwise.  This shouldn't happen anyway,
but the extra shutdown steps will certainly be a bit safer.

It's likely (based on a *very* quick look at the code) that you're
hitting a bug which has been fixed since 4.5, so perhaps you should
consider an update.
