Subject: Re: Bluetooth related possible system hard lockups

Issue Update

I have not been successful in reproducing the issue *without*
connecting a bluetooth device at least once.

I have however actually witnessed the lockup now:
- the screen does *not* turn off as part of the lockup
- initially the keyboard was non-responsive
- after a few seconds of use the jmouse stopped responding
- was able to momentarily reconnect the bluetooth mouse and then it
too stopped responding
