I can confirm that:

* powertop crashes my system every time, within about five seconds of
starting, just when it starts displaying the first page of info;

* the crash only occurs if the r8192se_pci driver is loaded; the machine
seems stable if I rmmod that driver;

* it doesn't seem to be fixed in 2.6.32.59+drm33.24, which is the latest
kernel in git for lucid, and presumably the next kernel that will go
into lucid-updates.

The panic backtrace also seems to implicate wireless (iwpriv
specifically):

renaming iwpriv out of the way also seems to avoid the crash.

Running "iwpriv wlan0 adhoc_peer_list" also seems to provoke the crash,
without running powertop. So does "iwpriv -a", which makes this appear
to be a duplicate of #585938, as suggested on that bug. I'm currently
building a new kernel with the patch linked from that bug
(http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp585938-lucid/).
