i think that EC thing may have been a red herring.

it seems that the "pgf's code" you added may be the culprit. (i.e.,
the code from http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11416#comment:3)  i don't
know what's going on, but if i run, or rerun, your script on a failing
machine, i reliably get errors to the effect of "processes refuse to
freeze after 0.00 seconds" (from memory).  if i run just a single
rtcwake (timeout doesn't matter) _outside_ of your dortc script, that
s/r works, and then i can start your script and it, too, works.  since
powerd will do an rtcwake on its own if you don't kill it soon enough,
some of your "successful" runs may have benefitted from that.

so i have your entire testbed running now, mostly using that trick.  i
did not have to set olpc-ols.0/high_lim to zero.
