Thanks for your report!
I have forwarded it to upstream as I cannot reproduce it on my system
(X220). What's your machine? Maybe it does something different on
resume.

Oh, I forgot to give any information about my machine; it is a Thinkpad X201s.

There may actually be some issues with this model and ACPI. Typically, the reason that I have to control fans with thinkfan is that without it, the fans are never used at their maximum. According to /proc/acpi/ibm/fan, the fan levels can be tuned from 0 to 7 (0 being off, and 1 to 7 ranging from about 2000rpm-6000rpm), but there is the non-numbered level disengaged/full-speed that speeds the fans up to about 8000rpm. Only thinkfan seems to be able to use this full-speed level when required. It is noisy but necessary for cooling heavy loads; with it, the CPUs at least always stays under 90⁰C (this is the (127, 80, 32767) line in my /etc/thinkfan.conf).

Just tell me if you need more informations,
Thank you,

Raphaël
