capacitor-bank is an Indy in the beta cluster. At some point
recently, I suspect that the 8.4.5 update caused it to start
reactivate even though I was ssh'ed in. I suspect that this change
(from testers[4505] announcing 8.4.5) may be responsible:
* xlogin will ignore stale utmp entries when deciding whether
to run reactivate.
I don't know whether it's because xlogin is erroneously detecting the
utmp entry made by ssh to be "stale" or not.
