Without knowing the contents of /etc/rc.d/rc.reboot, here is my
guess.  It used to be the case that pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and
reboot had the same behavior.  With 0.51, it changed, so that
pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't necessarily reboot the system.  In
order to get the old behavior, what you should do is change

::ctrlaltdel:/etc/rc.d/rc.reboot

to

::reboot:/etc/rc.d/rc.reboot
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot
