None, the issue is an obvious code error which leads to invalid writes, that can turn to random effect depending of what got overwriten. Just test that the update works correctly.

Not a show stopper, I turn laptop screen off manually. Of course screen is at default 1024x768 instead of 1280x1024.
BTW, quantal boots on MAX BRIGHT (!) which I can turn down manually. I boot a lot during testing.
