Stefan,
  Indeed there is a wrong use of dmi_chassis_type() inside dmi_table_string(). Your patch as well as concern how to fix it s valid, I will push it in CVS soon.

thanks again,

the bug is present in all vanilla versions since at least 2.9 and in various Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, grml). the attached patch was also sent to Debian and Ubuntu. for details please see the patch.

also, it may be a good idea to change the semantics of the dmi_chassis_lock function/parameter (shifting inside that function instead of in the caller), but since there is only one caller, it is no issue (yet).
