The thing is that this only effects apm, so it really belongs to the APM
module.  Also, a patch was proposed a while back to fix this in a manner
that doesn't effect non-broken machines negatively.  I don't remember
who proposed it, but the name 'John' stands out in my mind.  (It may
have been Jonathen Lemons...)


Unfortunately, I was unable to test it since my new laptop no longer has
a problem.
