I fully agree with Jared. We encountered this when I duplicated the Prod
server (including the SQL*net config file) onto a Test box and bounced the
test box. The listener.ora file contains the name of the Prod server and the
automatic stop/start script executed a 'lsnrctl stop' as part of shutdown -
this sent a STOP signal to the identified host (the Prod server). This
stopped the listener on another system!! 

It is quite easy to test this out - you can create a dummy listener.ora on
the Prod box, point that to the Dev box and stop the listener from Prod...

Hth,
