Okay, I just killed apmd and hit the suspend button, the notebook ended up
in hibernate again, so perhaps it's not got to do with apmd. I'm not sure
if I should have started the system without apmd running at all... but I
could try that. It is tedious to test because it doesn't happen all the
time.

As far as I can tell, this typically happens at the end of my work day,
when the notebook has been running for many hours, and I had a Xircom CE3
network card inserted (I eject it before suspending). It doesn't happen
when I purposely try to reproduce the problem (in such instances, the
notebook would only have been running several minutes). It also doesn't
happen at home where I would have a modem card in use rather than network
card, even though I sometimes leave the notebook running overnight.
