that didn't appear to really make any difference... i tried all combinations of
hibernate with AC, with battery, and resume with AC, with battery, and was
unable to reproduce it reliably. in fact, i hadn't seen it since my last
comment on the bug report nearly two weeks ago... until today. gah.
so it's not exactly easy to reproduce. :(

i was also unable to reproduce it on a clean squeeze install either, so it's
probably something particular with my existing configuration or useage
patterns.
the test install was just on another partition, and my typical environment is
using lvm on an encrypted volume, if that seems likely to make any difference.
my typical environment is also upgraded from a lenny install.

added this now, will reboot and see if that fixes it... presuming it just
doesn't hide itself for another several weeks.
live well,
