Yes, I see this on a thinkpad t43p using NetBSD 3.99.8 and ACPI, and X
from xsrc.
The problem seems to be more frequent when they system is under load,
such as while starting applications. I'm not sure whether CPU or I/O is
the main factor here, but I suspect I/O.
It's considerably more frequent than a couple of times a day for me.
