No magic cure here for
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.eeepc/3085
though. That is a hardware problem. In /etc/rc.local I now use...

	#for stuck temperature sensor
	case $(cat /sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input) in
	    55000|0)
		case `date +%m` in
		    12|01|02|03)t=21;;
		    04|11)t=23;;
		    05|10)t=30;;
		    06|09)t=33;;
		    07|08)t=34;;
		    *)echo 1>&2 WHAT MONTH IS THAT?; exit 33;;
		esac
		echo ${t}000 > /tmp/.bogus_jidanni_temperature
		/etc/init.d/fancontrol start;;
#where the latter is set up to look for /tmp/...
