mine hangs temporarily for *any* change in frequency though....

i don't get that misslinked libraries part....please excuse my
ignorance but since the problem occurs even with the kernel level
ondemand governor, is this likely to be a problem...

just thinking that if it had been an hardware error, isn't it more
likely to be random rather than something which occurs repeatably when
the speed changes...i know only of memtest amongst hardware testing
utilities...if you know of any other utility which can probably help
me in this, please tell me.

yeah sure, lets hope that helps :)
