No, it could also be a kernel bug I guess. Still, it's never happened
with pmud in years[0], but as soon as I run pbbuttonsd, it usually
happens at least once a day. So at the very least, something that
pbbuttonsd does differently than pmud seems to trigger it.

As Brad pointed out, it's possible when dealing with the PMU.
[0] It did happen occasionally when I was running cpudyn along with
pmud, but much less frequently than with pbbuttonsd without a cpufreq
daemon.
