Random shutdowns

Dear ACPI-list!

On my notebook (Acer Travelmate 630) I experience random shutdowns when using Linux. Everything lokks like if someone called "init 6" or "halt".
(But this is completely impossible; I'm the only user on that machine, no internet connection available)

Because there is always a similar sequence of events logged in my /var/log/acpid, I think that this is acpi-related.

I hope that somebody can help me making these shutdowns disappear.

Thanhs a lot.

Attached some sequences cut from /var/log/acpid which show entries just befroe or during such a shutdown (The kernel-log /var/log/messages does not give any specific information; It looks just like a "normal" shutdown):

when the first two shutdowns occured, my acpid was broken, so it did not call acpid_proxy correctly. But that's already fixed.
