No.  I can't tell you why your T61p is locking up, it could be either a
hardware, firmware or softare problem.  But it is not an issue with the
termal limits on ACPI.

But DO keep an eye on *all* the thermal readings you get from thinkpad-acpi.
I have seen some ThinkPads with a defective heat sink let the GPU exceed
85°C, etc.

You should ask around in the linux-thinkpad ML and the thinkpad forums to
check if others have the same problem.

And, by all means, update your BIOS and EC firmware to the latest.
