You posted the atpoff script for bug 1003 and I've had it installed as
/etc/rc0.d/K36poff for a long time, but it's not working for some
reason.  I just measured, the current is maybe 30 or 40 mA after I
have powered up, started up the GUI, then held the power button and
selected the GUI button to shut down the phone.  I tried moving the
script to /etc/init.d/poff and making links to it from rc0.d, rc1.d
and rc6.d (since all of those have links for the other "kill" scripts)
and modified the script to write a file to the MicroSD card when it
runs, and start the vibrator, so I can see that the script is running,
but it is not successfully turning off the radio for me.
