I had not checked but I was pretty sure you would not have written something which
could have locked up the backend... You seem to have contributed multiple times in 
the past and I was not expecting somebody who had contributed that much to do 
something that could lock up the backend...

Thank you!

BTW, the small problem I mentionned in the ticket is that the output of "sensors" is
localized (at least the one bundled with FC8) so when the locale is different from
en_US.US-ASCII, what gets extracted by awk (in the myth_sensors.sh script) is not
exactly what we would want it to be.

[For example, with a LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1, there is no longer a 
space in the temperatures readings between the units (which now use non us-ascii 
characters) and the temperature (number) so what gets extracted contains the units.]

The workaround I used is to add an "export LANG=en_US.US-ASCII" before the call to 
sensors so I did not have to find another way to extract the info regardless of locale.

Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day!
