The fan and heatsink are clean, as I've said already. The only other thing I
could do is to apply new heatsink paste, but I'm trying to retain a consistent
test case for this bug. If the paste is a problem it will apply to many laptops
as they age. Windows seems to cope with that, so Linux should too.

The same issue could arise just as easily in other ways, e.g. using a system in
a hot climate, when the BIOS engineers tested it in an air-conditioned office.
It seems to me that this applies to any system with a critical trip point but
without a passive cooling point defined, so I'd rather see something like the
patch in comment #27 applied, than a hack for the D610.

As to the remaining issue of how to find out we're approaching the limit, could
anyone tell me if my suggestion in comment #30 is feasible?
