 Running build 492.  I returned to my XO to find it with very low battery
 (red battery light illuminated).  It was still powered up.  I brought it
 over to its charger, and it immediately shut off (no linux shutdown
 process) when I plugged it in.  Not only did it power off, the battery
 light turned off as well.  The machine wouldn't turn on, and plugging and
 unplugging the adaptor did not cause the battery light to reilluminate.
 With the power cord out, I took out the battery and replaced it.  I then
 plugged the XO back in, and the expected amber battery light went on.  I
 pressed the power button, and it turned on and booted.
