@Andreas  here is some software that speeds up the fan on my Dell
Laptop to the max and it is what i have been using to fix this bug:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os
import time
#apt-get install i8kutils
#sudo modprobe i8k force=1
while(True):
	os.system("i8kfan speed 10000 > /dev/null")
	time.sleep(.5)

So Andreras,  you have no idea what you are  talking about.  I am
leaving Ubuntu because it is too buggy to mission critical
applications.  Regression testing is important.   I shouldn't have to
write my own patches and then sit back and watch everyone run in
circles.  This bug is wide spread and very easy to reproduce,  yet
there has been no official fix,  even to this day.

Peace
