Really sneaky... apparently, keeping the i2c lines asserted on his laptop model would drain enough current through the pullups (or the chip) that the temperature will raise significantly, causing a thermal shutdown if the machine was already warm. A bit scary... looks to me that a pullup is a bit too weak somewhere on the motherboard. That also means that this fix should reduce power consumption on the battery significantly on those machines as it must take quite a bit of power to increase the temperature that significantly (either that, or the heating part sits just next to the sensor).
