Hi, I hope I've come to the right place; I'm going based on the information in my kernel's MAINTAINERS file. I have been using suspend2 with a 2.6.18 kernel, my Thinkpad T60p, and a Thinkpad Advanced dock. When resuming (from disk), suspend2 puts all the USB devices into a suspended state so they're consistent with the state at suspend time. If I have any devices plugged into the dock's USB ports, it's very common that the devices fail to enter a suspended state (or so the APIs report). When that happens, suspend2 forces a segfault and all heck breaks loose (log excerpt appended) -- suffice it to say I lose my suspended state, all the filesystems need to be checked, and often it takes an additional reboot just to make everything healthy again -- so it's really important to me to address this problem. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help track this down.
