Hopefully better backtrace follow:

I think the backtrace is probably useless on this free(), it's likely
some memory corruption. Instead, try running
/usr/bin/gnome-power-manager: in valgrind and look for invalid free()s.
I took a look at the source. It's really just trying to free memory that
was never allocated. I've attached a fix. On the other hand, my machine
still doesn't shutdown properly. Perhaps the whole UPS code path hasn't
been tested yet?
