root@jackass /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1# watch -n 1 'cat ./state'

Over 30 minutes running and still looks fine. I use the GKACPI Gkrellm
plugin which polls the battery status every 30 seconds I beleive. Since
this started I have gone up to 2 + days uptime without it being triggered,
but sometimes its less.

The 2.6.3 patch from the same release day does not apply cleanly with the
wolk patchset in place :/ I will try the latest with this patch and see
what happens.
