In poor form, I'm replying to my own message. :-)

Found it, although it seems to have not have accessible data since around
June of last year...

It would seem that I can't suspend/hibernate when X is active on a VC.  If
I hit Alt-Ctl-F1 and close the lid, I'm in good shape.  I don't know if
apmd is set up to eject cards before a suspend, but if I do a manual
"cardctl eject" before closing the lid, the machine will suspend and
resume normally.

Still confused about this; there's apparently user suspends and system
suspends, etc.  What's the difference?  How are each initiated?

Thanks,
