I beginning to think that mine is a different problem.

I had been running the same kernel (2.6.11) for over a month 
when the machine first started hanging on sleep. The thing 
that changed when the hanging started was that I upgraded 
pbbuttonsd.

After spending an evening hand applying diffs, looking at PPC
assembler and compiling kernels instead of hacking on my own 
code I'm inclined to try winding back pbbuttonsd instead of 
more futzing with kernels.

I will continue messing with kernels if someone can tell me
what link between the new version of pbbuttonsd and the kernel
could be causing these problems.

C offers you enough rope to hang yourself.
C++ offers a fully equipped firing squad, a last cigarette and
a blindfold.
