heh. sorry for being unclear :)

unfortunately, no, it's still Oops'ing after resume.

i also didn't mention, largely because i'm pretty unsure if it's really the
case, but the issue *seems* to occur more reliably when hibernating (to disk)
while on battery, but i'm really unsure of that.

i'll see if i can more reliably trigger the same problem on a clean squeeze
install on the same hardware in another partition... where i'm not as worried
about crashing.

live well,
