This reminds me....

My Dell 8200 laptop used to work reasonably well with ACPI, the only
problem being that the ASL was doing the pass-by-reference/pass-by-value
mixup that resulted in a lot of 'cannot allcoate 0 byte' problems.  With
a patch that worked around this, most acpi functions seemed to work.
With the latest ACPI, the patch that I had seems to have been
integrated, but now there are new problems.  The battery reporting seems
to no longer work, and I get a lot of the following
messages on the console:

         -0166: *** Error: UtAllocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes

What information do you need to track this down?
