One further bit, "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep" appears to engage the S3
"suspend to RAM" operation, and pressing the power button does wake
the machine back up immediately (it starts responding to pings again
and you can ssh in), but for some reason the screen doesn't come back
up, so the machine looks like it hasn't resumed.

Hope this helps.
