IIRC I put the system to sleep right in the middle of a batch compile.
Survived just fine (again, powernowd not cpufreqd). sleep7 is rock solid,
by my standard (and I've tested a few other versions before that I had
crash a lot more often, mostly in the middle of some longish scroll
operation in X).
About the only issue I have with sleep7 is firewire - disks connected over
sleep need to be replugged after wakeup. If I remember that, fine,
otherwise I can only reboot. I don't do crazy stuff like unplugging mice
before wakeup, mind you. And USB/firewire sleep support is being worked on
by the respective maintainers, and not really an issue with Ben's patch.
