Er... no, I think i've already in public discussions pointed to the
crawler as culprit for draining the battery.

Probably this points to a deficit in our current testing setup: we
usually run verifications with the stock image that can be flashed by
users, but probably we should start doing tests also with some loaded
MMC.

I experienced a probelm when having a loop of symlinks on the internal
movinand.
