You do that, I lose track of things. So I am going to reply in the bugzilla interface. Sorry about that. Maybe someday we could have a proper bug tracker setup that lets one deal with the bug reports over email... adding magic hidden approval headers to keep random spam at bay is trivial. Executive summary: AFAIK, that thinkpad might be having hardware problems. IBM Thinkpads are supposed to operate at full number-crunching mode at full speed at any decent ambient temperature (in my experience, the T4x will deal with full load at <35°C ambient temps for long periods of time just fine, but they will be quite hot inside (CPU around 75°C, likewise the GPU, rest of the system approaching 60°C). Thermal sink problems are common on IBM thinkpads, and are easy to fix if you can deal with taking it apart, cleaning things up, and applying a new thermal compound. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
