Well i see Sophos is an early riser (and also mentioned in post #1).
I would say disabling AV until the current mystery is solved might be wise.

Interestingly enough, a google on your "
com.hzsystems.driver" there finds a few threads about KPs.
is there a way to ask Terminal to come up with a log-in from another occasion?
The only thing along those lines i can think of is:
sudo dmesg...which gets us a look at some very early system messages.
