Bug Description
Power requests (wakelocks) are not released if the owner process unexpectedly exits and drops off the bus. This causes a stale request that holds the device awake, which can result in extreme battery drain.
For example, the vibration sensor can unexpectedly die while holding a vibration/alarm lock and at the point the phone would never again suspend.
