Ok. You have shutting down the linux by sending CTRL-ALT-DEL key code. 
After this should be follow a "daemon: service stopped." in the event
logger.

Have you set to halt in your /etc/inittab?  If not, try this:
   # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.

   ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now

Service is normal stopping in 0.7.1 prerelease with build date 20070319
and 20070101.  I do shutting down coLinux in the Windows Service 
Manager, or on Windows command line 'net stop "Cooperative Linux"'. 
With -h and also with -r in the inittab.
I see no problems.  colinux-daemon.exe exits after linux is down.
