It should not have set the fan to level 7, so it means we will need to add
debugging hints to the driver.  I don't have my T43 with me right now, or I
could try to reproduce the issue.

Are you confortable with adding some printk's to kernel source?  If so, try
to printk the interesting bits in fan_suspend and fan_resume on
drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c.

Otherwise, I can provide you with a patch with the debug printks later.  But
either way, you'd need to recompile your kernel to get the changed
thinkpad-acpi module to test.  I hope that is not a problem?
