Dear sirs or madams, as requested in my syslog, I'd like to inform you about the circumstances of a crash/reboot I encounered. It occurred while I was watching a FLV video in VLC, although I don't think that is related. A similar crash/reboot happend one or two days ago when the system was basically idle with only xfce4-terminal running. I think it's more likely to do with the weather. The last few days were exceptionally warm, with room temperatures up to 38 deg C in shadow. The Thinkpad was also in shadow both times. I hope that some of the information below can help you. If you need further exploration, please CC me since I'm not a member of your mailing list.
