Ok, then as I don't see this bug anymore, I won't be of much help
because I can't test solutions anymore. A newer kernel seemed to have
fixed it. But I can still suggest a few things.

Rick (ozstriker78) and others, you could try disabling the ACPI
monitoring like archie suggested in two steps :

1- Edit /etc/default/acpid and change monitoring modules to none :
MODULES="none"
instead of
MODULES="all"

Reboot and watch.

2- If the bug persists, try uninstallinig acpid (take note of other
metapackages that might be uninstalled in case you with to reinstall
them later). Reboot again and watch.

3- If the bug persists, then it's not acpid's fault : reinstall the
removed packages and change back monitoring to "all" as ACPI is very
useful in PC nowadays, especially laptops.

Please post your results, both positive and negative, here.
