Inky pHAT causes a shutdown

Hi,

Whenever I run any of the python code examples my Pi shuts down, ie as if I had executed a sudo poweroff:

simon@basic-pi:~/Pimoroni/inkyphat/examples$ ls
cal-ics.py cal.py clean.py hello.py InkyPhat-212x104-bw.png InkyPhat-212x104.png list-ics.py logo.py qr.py resources test.py weather.py
simon@basic-pi:~/Pimoroni/inkyphat/examples$ python hello.py “simon” red
Inky pHAT: Hello… my name is:

Broadcast message from root@basic-pi (somewhere) (Thu Jan 10 20:08:36 2019):

BCM 17 held low, system shutdown in 0 minutes

Connection to 192.168.1.200 closed by remote host.
Connection to 192.168.1.200 closed.
simon@chromebook-asus:~$

It does this on models:
Pi 3b+
Zero WH

The only difference being on the 3b+ the image gets written to the display before shutdown, whereas with the Zero it doesn’t process the code fast enough (I think).

Any ideas?

it never used to behave like this.

Cheers,

Simon.
