Oh no, Dell again.
I've got an Inspiron 5000e which has all sorts of weird lockups.
Many times directly after a screen blanking it just locks up totally
(including ping !).
Or sometimes there are weird lockups with suspend/resume, yes.
As this machine is (in)famous for its "wonderfully working" APM support
(boolean variable dell_crap in apm.c of newer, knowing kernels),
I strongly suspect that the BIOSes of Dell notebooks are brox!@E$%^$en
in general.
Dell is NOT doing a good job here.
A new BIOS has been rumoured to come out for months, nothing happened.
(mine is from August !)
Dell, do something about that, damn !
