Well, this bug report was apparently not that easy to find, so atleast
mentioning it on thinkwiki and perhaps other relevant places would be
appropriate since the effects are pretty harsh. This could mean more
cases surfacing and would be showing good intent.

few days while waiting for repairs, for someone else this could mean the
end of their Thinkpad.
