Simply watching the status of the lid from procfs (<code>watch -n2 cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state</code>) would show the system intermittently, and without obvious cause, changing its state to closed. This bug would ''almost'' reliably surface when connecting an ethernet cable to the system, but not always.		:Tried to send different directives and boot parameters to the i915 driver (e.g., i915=nomodeset, etc) to no avail.
