@Michael -- there are many bugs reported against the kernel. This one came to our attention as there were a number of duplicates which raises its profile and its priority for attention. I actually said that I had tested it on all the kit I had here and had not been able to reproduce it. That included on two laptops neither of which show the issue. This is not an issue affecting every laptop therefore not trivial to isolate. We have now since found one person who has a reproducible trigger for what appears to be this behaviour and they are attempting to bisect the kernel to find the cause. The problem is looking like it is in mainline also, and likely was introduced in the 2.6.28 release, and so you may well hit the issue in any distro.
For those of you who have experienced thermal shutdowns could we get your acpidump and dmidecode output attached to this bug, run the two commands below and attach the result to this bug:
sudo acpidump -o acpidump.txt
sudo dmidecode >dmidecode.txt
For those of you comfortable testing kernels we currently suspect the problem was introduced in v2.6.28 mainline, you might test the v2.6.27 and v2.6.28 kernels from the Mainline Kernel repository to confirm it is not present in v2.6.27 and is in v2.6.28. Those kernel can be found here:

and instructions found here:

If the problem is found to be in v2.6.28 and not in v2.6.27 then it would also be worth testing the following stable updates kernels also:

In all cases please report your testing results back here. Thanks.
