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.

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.

Will do - and report back.
Darn,
On attaching the debugger to the launch, you get some interesting output, but
then tdepowersave goes back to taking its normal 5-7% of CPU instead of 97% of
CPU. Maybe this just happens on initial startup? Is its failure to register with
systemd the problem? Here is the output:
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Is there a way I can configure it to start with the debugger attached on tde
start?
