Could the system overheat, or get incorrectly shut down when acpi fails to get the current temperature?

What is the best way to work around this problem? Setting a very high polling rate or disabling it inside loader.conf:

debug.acpi.disable="thermal"

In 2008 Kevin Foo thought it might not be safe to disable it:

Or do I need to boot with ACPI disabled until a BIOS fix is available?

So this was improved.  Thanks!
