Update: PMUD shuts down machine on lid closing

[Stefan Bruda]

Hi again.

Here is a strange follow-up for one of my previous messages (also
included below for quick reference): Given the mysterious system
shutdown, I thought about giving up on pmud altogether, and power off
the monitor manually (using pbbuttonsd) when needed instead. To my
total surprise, exactly the same system shutdown as reported below
happened again! I then stopped pbbuttons too (after all it also has
power management features). When on battery and with the lid closed
the machine continues to shut down in a couple of minutes or so, even
when neither pmud nor pbbuttonsd are running!

Is it just me or that's a weird behaviour? Anybody has any idea what
causes this?

Thanks,
Stefan
