No - but I would be willing to deactivate the "on-close-cache-clear" and

So, I have experienced a complete freeze again, even with speedstep
disabled in bios (and powernowd disabled in ubuntu - although some kind
of stepping still seems to be happening as I mentioned earlier). The
only think disabling steedstep (esp. powernowd) did was delay the crash
by an hour or two.
So I turned off speedstep, and so far no crashes, but I will report if
that changes. I also had to disable CPU frequency scaling under ubuntu
