Event loop: DSDT or ACPI bug?

Hi all.

If I generate a lid event during suspend I end up with keventd sucking CPU post-resume (2.4 kernel). If set a breakpoint at acpi_os_queue_for_execution, I see:

while(1) {
trace 1 (below)
trace 2
trace 3
trace 2
}

I'm not sure whether this is because some aspect of the hardware state doesn't match the kernel or if there's a bug in my DSDT or in ACPI, and I wonder if it's related to some of the other event problems people have been reporting. If there are things I can do to generate more useful info, feel free to ask.

(If I add a line in acpi_os_queue_for_execution, making it not queue events when suspending, I don't get the loop, but neither do I get any further acpi events.)

Regards,

Nigel
