Maybe a bit more than....... 
A Singapore Airlines Airbus A380-800, registration 9V-SKD performing flight SQ-861 from Hong Kong (China) to Singapore (Singapore), was on the descent towards Singapore when smell of smoke was observed in a lavatory. Cabin crew discharged a halon fire extinguisher while the flight crew continued for a safe landing in Singapore.
Singapore Airlines reported that ground crews later found evidence of burned electrical wiring in the forward cargo hold. The airline and Airbus are investigating.
