The patch seams to do its job correctly, but it is still very annoying 
to have the whole computer to freeze for 1 second when the cache 
expires. What does make the whole system to freeze? Before the code was 
changed in 6.0-stable, FreeBSD was able to read the battery status 
without freezing my laptop... I have been running 3 OSes (FreeBSD, 
Ubuntu and Win XP) on my laptop for a while and never experienced that 
kind of problem with either Linux or Win XP. I guess there is something 
wrong in the new code added after 6.0-release.

Thank you!
