There is the important hint: if you have Oracle RAC and the watchdog is
running the z/VM guest may not stop for longer periods of time. My guts
feeling is that the large output of the #CP Q <xyz> command stopped the
linux guest for too long. Once the output completed the guest continued
and the Oracle watchdog did what it is programmed to do: reboot.
