 Yes, I see this on a thinkpad t43p using NetBSD 3.99.8 and ACPI, and X 
 from xsrc.
 
 The problem seems to be more frequent when they system is under load, 
 such as while starting applications. I'm not sure whether CPU or I/O is 
 the main factor here, but I suspect I/O.
 
 It's considerably more frequent than a couple of times a day for me.
