T42 : Standy mode: laptop hotter in linux than in windows ?

Thinkpad T42, debian etch
Standby (to ram) works with no problem, but the area at the bottom directly below the touchpad stays warm. In windows its cooler.

Any idea what is going on ?

Also, I can only do standy when loggen in. If I try to do standy at the login menu, there is some kernel panic error and laptop hangs.
