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...
