I think the suspend/hibernation code ordering changes after 2.6.20 are to blame
here.

Reportedly, the problem can be fixed by applying the patch from
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/27/392 , but that requires some other changes which
are not present in 2.6.22.

It would be nice if that could be tested on 2.6.23-rc5 with the patchset from
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.23-rc5/patches/ applied
and the patch from http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/27/392 on top of it.
