Isn't there a Solaris acpi kernel module (tzmon) that
in theory could enable (cpu / case) fans when a
thermal zone is getting hot or is overheating?

Are there any error or warning messages from the
"tzmon" kernel module logged to /var/adm/messages?
The tzmon-module is actually the part of the kernel which reboots the
system. Well, it would in absence of the debugger:
bash-3.2$ tail minicom.cap

The attached dtrace script monitors the temperature
for each thermal zone, as seen by the "tzmon" kernel
module.  Does it produce any output on your T60p?

Yep, it does. Add some time stamps and we'll get a nice temp/time graph. It's output (and the whole ::msgbuf after the "shutdown") is attached. I guess "\_TZ_.THM0" is the GPU (it's cooler until heat spreads through the shared heatpipe and the critical temp is higher) and "\_TZ.THM1" the CPU. But it's at 75°C with almost no load and at the lowest frequency:
tzmon.d-paste:
temp 348.2�K/75.0�C, crit hot 372.2�K/99.0�C, \_TZ_.THM1
temp 331.2�K/58.0�C, crit hot 400.2�K/127.0�C, \_TZ_.THM0

bash-3.2$ kstat -p cpu_info:::current_clock_Hz
cpu_info:0:cpu_info0:current_clock_Hz   1000000000
cpu_info:1:cpu_info1:current_clock_Hz   1000000000

I'm not sure if the fan is managed or not. It takes some time to heat the CPU up or cool it down and it's already running pretty fast without load...
