Noo - absolutely not.  But I use swsusp2, writing to the swapfile - a
separate partition to anything Windows touches.  Of course, if you
did this in APM BIOS suspend, you could well end up with corruption.

It's pretty well acknowledged by developers there's a bug in there -
we thought we had it, but in obscure cases it seems to be still
hiding there.  See:
