That's weird -- it would appear that ACPI does properly export thermal
zones and fans to userspace, but OSPM (the kernel-side
power-management code) doesn't manage them? I'd be curious to know
how that can happen.

I've noticed this too, and I believe it's a bug in either ACPI's or
the kernel's code for dealing with /proc; I haven't found the time to
debug it, though.
Could you check (with strace) whether all the ``close'' system calls
in your code are successful?
