No, fortunately that doesn't happen to me.  However, I noticed that when
I put the machine in suspend to RAM and the ppa module is loaded, then
it won't come back from suspend to RAM.  The ppa module serves as an
interface to an Iomega ZIP drive connected to the parallel port.  Well,
since I need it rarely, I don't care too much about this problem.
