Just checked my logs since I've had at least one spurious shutdown a
short while after booting. No cron jobs running and the laptop was
feeling cooler than it does normally after a couple of hours' use.

[root at localhost vex]# grep "Critical temp" /var/log/messages.*
/var/log/messages.1:Apr  5 12:01:49 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (114 C), shutting down.
/var/log/messages.1:Apr  5 12:01:49 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (52 C), shutting down.
/var/log/messages.2:Apr  2 14:04:57 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (119 C), shutting down.
/var/log/messages.2:Apr  2 14:04:58 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (24 C), shutting down.
[root at localhost vex]#
