Comment 136 for bug 531190

With that patch applied I can no longer immediately reproduce the problem, though it may just be chance as it is somewhat unpredictable. I will wait a couple of weeks before coming to a verdict. Of course, even if that does solve it for me it may be that other people may be seeing the same symptoms of a different problem and won't be helped by that patch. And the real fix would probably to check whether a battery is present before taking it into the battery list at all.
