current snapshot: pc powered down for high cpu temp

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I upgraded to a currents snapshot today (I was using one of July 9 
previously).

Now if I power on my laptop, it will boot, get about to the loign 
prompt, say my CPU temperature is 5296C and starts a shut down.

(besides: it doesn't shut down completely, the computer still remains 
on, like I reported a couple of days ago).

How can I give you more information? (And no, the machine was unlikely 
overheated and certainly not at a temperature where Silicon would 
melt... I just powered the machine on and the fan is working)
