Well, I seem to be having problems finding a system to duplicate. I
guess we'll have to do this the hard way. Can you reproduce with
acpiphp loaded with debug=1 and send me the dmesg output when you first
load the driver? Also, do you get the same problem if you boot
undocked, dock, then undock again?

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town next week, but I'll try to look more
at this the week after.
