Comment 101 for bug 531190

it is a timer issue on plugging in the A/C power and sleep. I use my netbook many times a day like this, and occasionally forget to plug it in until after the screen has shut off. If i plug in the netbook after the screen shuts off, and then unplug it before i wake up the machine, it reads 0:02 battery remaining and this bug occurs.

reproduction is simple, wait until sleep. plug in AC. Wait an hour or more, unplug, wake up.

it took me a while to track down the issue because it seemed random.
