I've tested the current CVS again. It seems to be updated, and it no
longer gives the compile warnings. But still it produces a crash. although
the system isn't frozen, unless the IPMI watchdog is enabled, which runs
out and reboots the comp. When I disable it, the system runs on. So,
perhaps just the IPMI part crashes and the watchdog is no longer
refreshed.
Anyway, the crash again occurs when you try to read the sensors
values (either directly through sysfs or using sensors) now produces this:

Is it possible you forgot to update something? Or is it a different bug?
