I had this weird bug happen to me a few days ago under NeXTStep 3.0. 
Does anyone know if (1) It's a known feature, (2) It's unique to me, (3)
It's unique to NextStep 3.0, or (4) It's common and known from NeXTStep
2.x??

I typed 'exit' for the login-name (& blank (empty) password).  The
workspace then began a shutdown & restart sequence.  While it was doing
this, I tried to make the screen as dark as possible.  When it finished
restarting, I could not make the screen any brighter.  Repeating this
process with making the screen brighter during the shutdown/restart of
workspace reversed this, with my screen being at full brightness and
unable to "darken".  Going into preferences and dragging the
screen-brightness slider changed the screen temporarily, but as I
watched, it would move the slider back to where it originally was. 
Rebooting, as expected, produced a full cure.


So, is this a old one for any of you???
