  this goes back to fedora 11 preview, when it started happening for
me and, after i whined about it, a few other people piped up and said
it was happening to them as well.  offhand, i don't recall anyone else
claiming that it was fatal like in your case -- only annoying.  but
that's just working from memory.

  i originally thought it was the radeon driver since that was having
other issues, but others since then seem convinced it's the power
manager, and i'm inclined to agree.
