No, it does not seem so. This machine has two thermal zones, and both
seem to be reporting reasonable (and similar) temperatures normally. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/*
<setting not supported>
<polling disabled>
state:                   ok
temperature:             53 C
critical (S5):           127 C
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#

...but when I load the machine under -rc2, THM0 and THM1 go up to 95C
or something, and then THM0 goes to 128C suddenly.

Basic reason seems to be that fan is running too slow. OTOH fan is
controlled by hardware, so...
