No, i think it most likely means that his hwclock and system clock are 
different.  When it wakes up it reads the bios clock which is probably 
set to GMT or something.  GMT is exactly 6 hours ahead of CST.  You 
need to sync these two clocks up.

I just recenlty got my T23 to act nice with ACPI in Kernel 2.6.2.  
Updating the bios and embedded controller fixed my problems with it, 
except that suspend-to-ram kills my vesa framebuffer.
