this shouldn't make any difference, if you shutdown with RC's power button
or  if  the  shutdown  script  is calles automatically. nvram-wakeup would
refuse  shutdown  if  your  system  time doesnt correspond to the hardware
clock, but in this case it would print an error message before exiting.

Before  VDR  calls  the shutdown script automatically, it waits 5 minutes.
Could  it  be that _during_ this 5 minutes the clock jupms back and messes
up the counter variable in some way? (just an idea)
