[ltp] Temperature issue on a T41p

Hi people,

I wonder if I have or not a ventilation problem with my brand new
T41p. I just ran a compilation of XFree 4.4 and tried a few different
CPU frequencies in a indoor environnement (22C). After stabilisation, the
temperature is, according to "acpi -V"

  600Mhz   51C
 1400Mhz   56C
 1700Mhz   73C (!!!!)

That does seem *very* hot to me ... Note that I do not notice a significant
change in the fan speed, which may be the problem.

This was done with a kernel 2.6.6-rc3 with ACPI.

Any idea ?

Cheers,
