Comment 34 for bug 147464

A long shot: here's a possible extra clue for solving this problem. Twice after freezing this way and being left alone for a while, my Thinkpad X31 would not even turn on with the battery plugged in -- it was necessary to remove it. Some sort CMOS corruption connection?

Anyway, again if anyone working on this wants specific trace info or some test performed, please do ask.
