Thanks for that info.

I'm using 2.6.27-rc1 (actually the Linus kernel as of Saturday), and
it is NOT fixed there; suspend/resume is not working for me.  I'll
have to look and see which of the patches in 2.6.26.1 might be
related, and try to figure out why it's not yet in mainline yet.  (I
thought normally all patches were supposed to be in mainline before
they go into a stable tree....)
