Got the same behaviour with my HP nx6125, with Debian kernels as well as vanilla
kernel 2.6.13.4 and 2.6.14. I discovered it by using cat
/proc/thermal_zone/TZ?/temperature,
which is essentially what acpi -t does, I guess. Today I submitted a bug report
to bugzilla.kernel.org. The bug number is 5534.
