SHUTDOWNING and SHUTDOWNED are typos first introduced by hacker emeritus
Vadim Mikheev in 1999 together with WAL, commit 47937403676d. It goes
to show that not every PG hacker is a learned English speaker. I see no
reason to change the spelling.

I'd not change this one either. Of the large set of words run together
in our source, this is one of the easiest ones to read.
