Comment 213 for bug 22336

Hello all
My laptop (Acer Aspire 5560) also suffers from this issue.
A few instances of a script that does "ls" in an endless loop can bring my cpu temp to 95C. At that point it smells like melting plastic so I stop the scripts.
Air vents are clean as a whistle, windows XP (it's a dual boot system) never gets close to that temperatures no matter what I run.

I've been subscribed for updates on this bug for a while now, reading similar messages over and over week after week.
If I am not mistaken, this bug was opened during Sep 2005. It's been two years after it was reported, yet this critical issue still exists.
It seems to me that there are many people subscribed on this tread who will gladly assist in providing more debug info and beta test possible solutions.
Can ubuntu engineers provide the reason for the fact this was not fixed by now?
Also it seems to me that it should be mentioned here if/when this issue is expected to be resolved.
I would really want to know that so I can plan ahead and maybe switch my laptop to a different linux distro.
I really like ubuntu. I have it on my desktop, it's doing great there and I wish I could keep it on my laptop (it's supposed to be for mobile systems as well, no?).
Saying that, it does not make much sense in the long term to run a distro that melts the hardware it runs on. This issue requires ubuntu's response, one way or another.
