The patch is broken. HAL segfaults on a Laptop with 2 battery bays but only 
with one battery in function battery_refresh_poll() in line: 

	"if (strcmp (reporting_unit, "mWh") == 0) {"

The reason: battery_refresh_poll() polls the battery also if the battery bay 
is empty and no battery present. The attached patch should fix this.

I have currently no battery for bay BAT1, so I can't test what happens if you 
insert the battery while machine is running. But I test this tomorrow.

Cheers,

Danny
