(new to the list, so hopefully not beating dead horse here)

Yeah, I found this in 2.4.21-ac4, too, and was having
crashes.  Fixing this bug still causes lockups if I change
the cpufreq too drastically.  Going from one setting to the
next (i.e. not skipping any available speeds) seems to work
ok, though.  This is a Sony FR130, so is this the effect of
the PST problems discussed earlier?
