Just to add my $0.02 cents, I've seen my box freeze momentarily since I
updated to -current two days ago, but I haven't yet done enough to
capture the event that causes this. If there is some info I need to
provide, I'll be more than willing to take the matter up.

When is this  "unset acpi_load" done? I can provide the info rqd.
