kernel-2.4.18-14 mysterious problem

[Warren Togami <warren@togami.com>]

Ever since I upgraded to kernel-2.4.18-14 I have had this one strange
problem where I would leave my laptop unattended for several hours and
come back to find that it had powered itself off.  When I boot up again
it goes through the ext3 journal replay, indicating that it had indeed
crashed.  This occurred to me four times in the last 2 days.

I have not observed it to unexpectedly power off while I am using it, so
it might be an idle-only problem.

kernel-2.4.18-12.5 which I had been running for about a week didn't have
this problem.  I left my laptop on that entire week without reboots.  I
have a second identical laptop here, so I will be testing that laptop
idle all week in various kernels.

Any clue what may have happened here?  This is a bit worrisome.

Laptop: Sony Vaio FXA36 (Athlon Palomino)
