I get so many suspend/resume bug reports that I've given up trying
to get them fixed. And there are so many bugs that are even worse,
like crashes during normal use, data corruption, etc. that suspend
bugs don't get much attention. But here are the ones for Fedora 6;
the list would be much longer if I included Fedora 5 and 7:
