systemd update and reboot failed

[Michael Schwendt]

systemd-36-3.fc16 plus subpackages just came in here, I installed
the updates with "yum -y update". A subsequent "reboot" in the same
gnome-terminal didn't reboot the machine, but stopped the shutdown
procedure at the screen with the small fedora logo. How long should
I have waited there? I pressed the hardware reset button.

Expected? Unexpected? Side-effect of anything else?
