Other than wondering whether powertop has issues similar to the bug
Steven Rostedt located, I must confess myself clueless.  Here are some
diagnostics I can suggest:

1.      Run in 32-bit mode.  This disables some of the new adaptive-ticks
        functionality, so might give a probabilistic indication of where
        the bug lies.

2.      The standard fallback of bisection.

Would you be willing to do either of these?

                                                        Thanx, Paul
