System shut down incorrectly due to high temperature

Hi,

I have a 6.0RC1 system which just shut down because it apparently got too 
hot.  However, as far as I can tell it was nowhere near the ACPI critical 
temperature.  From /var/log/messages:

root: WARNING: system temperature too high, shutting down soon!
kernel: acpi_tz1: WARNING - current temperature (33.0C) exceeds safe limits
syslogd: exiting on signal 15

tz1 _CRT is 110 degrees C, so why did it apparently shut down at 33 
degrees?
