gconfd shouldn't be a problem, I have it at home on my desktop PC and
all is working fine.

could you try running cpufreqd with:

# (cpufreqd -f /etc/cpufreqd.conf -D -V7 2>&1 > cpufreqd.log) &
# disown

and send me (privately only) cpufreqd.log after it crashes?

I don't think so. It sounds me much more like a leak somewhere as
cpufreqd can start and run for some time. Anyway I didn't actually
tested the latest kernel yet.

Also, I just released cpufreqd-1.2.0, it might be worth a try, I'm
preparing the debian package right now. If you don't want to wait, you
can simply run the configure script with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc \
            --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib/cpufreqd \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man

this way it will overwrite the debian package files without leaving
trash around
