Comment(by Matthias):

 I did a lot of tests with monitor-scripts to catch the situation and can
 confirm:

 - the runaway (consuming CPU) of events/0 occurs also without using
 suspend;
 - it occurs without using GPRS, GPS and Wifi, just acting the FR as a GSM
 phone
 - it occurs exactly after 18h+16...17min uptime (which is in seconds a bit
 more
   than the unsigned short value of 65536)
