CentOS - Jul 2015 - wicd problem 4: wicd restarts itself when as root user making terminal commands

greetings,

to further check wicd problem, i decided to run test as root user and
as user.

i verified wicd problems 1, 2, 3 happen when logged in as root user.

to further test wicd problems, i tried a few command line problems
using virtual terminals.

in following, note changing of status for eth0.

[root at boxen Documents]# ifconfig eth0 down
