I used to have the same problem and it was fixed when I updates to one of
the 10. 2 revisions. I am now running 10.3.2 with no problems.

There are some Mac OS-9 Shut Down Control Panels that used to work. If all
else fails, pull the power plug -that will shut it down.

Someone posted an issue with a USB adapter. Good suggestion to remove things
from the USB port to see what may be causing the problem.  I had trouble one
time with a wimpy USB to Serial adapter that caused all kinds of weird
problems.
