In fact it is broken on any ACPI hardware. To quote from the corresponding
Gentoo bug <http://bugs.gentoo.org/165989>:

"Please note that this bug should be present on _any_ (ACPI) hardware: The
plugin tries to fopen a file "/proc/acpi/fan/*/state" which cannot work, since
fopen of course doesn't expand wildcards. This is a regression from the 0.3.0
version."
