Thanks!

I already replied to Pavels similar comment - I had posted on Bugzilla.  
I guess it missed the right people because it started off in the wrong 
category.  (The first symptom I reported was my 2.13Ghz cpu running at 
1Ghz after a sucessful hibernation cycle).  At Rafaels request, I shall 
be retesting with the latest 2.6.25-rc kernel on Saturday.  I look 
forward to getting it fixed - I know it should be possible because it's 
a regression.
