that was also my reaction. That is why I started to look for a explanation,
but I am sure of it, not because of the software I use to check temperature,
but specially from my hand.

Untill the last update, the system was always getting to such temperatures
as soon as it was compiling for a while ( 5 minutes ).
And the temperature was really high because my hand on the laptop was simply
more hot than it is in these days.
I know its pretty empirical as a proof, but the laptop is not compiling
since 2 days, and still the temperature is now at 52 degrees Celsius,
Before, in the last 3 months, every time I compiled something for longer
than 5 minutes, it reached high temperatures, really high :-0  !!!

I think it hangs with the acpi system, but I cant tell.
I hope at least this that this case may be of help for the community
