lshw causes the screen display to scramble and later to sleep - Lucid Alpha3/Beta1

[Leo]

Binary package hint: xorg

Whenever I run
sudo lshw -C network
The screen gets corrupted and it seems unrecoverable.
Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F7 does not help.
Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F8, Ctrl+Alt+F7 does help, but it makes the computer to sleep a few seconds after.

I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Beta1 live session from a USB.
