Ok, its not MTRR_SANITIZER. It hung again on hibernate, again before any
serious hibernating work has started. I will add debug output to my
pre-hibernate script as it might hang already in there, maybe while
disabling the network. I want to know whether it hangs before calling the
hibernate script or after it. I think I will go for the latest official
hibernate patch instead of using the inofficial one, although I am not
convinced that it makes much of a difference. Lets see.

The syncs I added to my pre-hibernate seemed to help. KDE configuration is
intact. As a safeguard I rsync ~/.kde to a backup directory before
hibernating anyway.

Lets see what ideas I have to continue that Sherlock Holmes game ;)

I am puzzled that it only happens on my ThinkPad T42, not on the T23 and
neither on the Dell workstation - till now.

Goodnight ;-),
