suspend error (all of a sudden)

[Mike McNally]

Well, thanks - I'll keep this around for the next time it happens. It
was late and I was tired so I just rebooted (thinking that it might
have been a problem with a recent batch of updates installed) and sure
enough after rebooting I could once again suspend the system without
incident. (I'm now typing on the system after a happy restore.)
