Not so bizarre; DUN is notorious for interfering with the proper functioning
of APM, which could then be shutting off your power. I'd suggest:
(1) make sure your BIOS is most recent; (2) disable power management altogether
(using Thinkpad Features or in EZ-setup), if you haven't already done so;
(3) if these don't work (or even if they do), upgrade DUN to DUN1.2 (MS keeps
moving this around on their website, if you have trouble finding it let me
know and I'll find you a copy).
