Luckily, I'm currently catless, dogless and childless, so no harm done :)

I'm running this kernel on a Thinkpad T60 (Core2 Duo, x86_64). When I suspended to
RAM and then resumed, my syslog window started scrolling the following:

Ad infinitum. Not sure what you're looking for to be cleared in the enter and exit
functions, but it doesn't look like it's happening after a resume. Didn't seem to
affect the behavior of the kernel, since the network came up and I was able to
function normally (or as normally as I can function).
