All,
Testing the new soft-freeze packages has disclosed a horrible problem
with
tdepowersave taking nearly 100% of the CPU. My laptop was nearly on
fire this
morning:

Earlier in development I saw tdepowesave in the 20-40% range, but
never at
near 100% of CPU. What to try?
What kernel do you use? I had the same problem on wheezy with 3.5.13.2.
tdepowersave took 100% of one core. It occured after tdepowersave put
the x61 to powersave the second time. It looks like the problem went
away after changing to kernel 3.12-0.bpo.1.
nik
Kernel is 3.13-5.1 (just a few days old), So this is happening with
current kernels.

Try attaching gdb to the runaway tdepowersave process--that should at
least show you where it is stuck.
