    Since you get those hangs too, it means they are not caused by my
    solid-state disk.  So we can't expect it to disappear by replacing
    my disk.  (There was some hope this would happen.)

    We simply must fix the bug.

Agreed! Not having a working suspend and/or hibernation is a big @#$% in the 
butt.  Especially for you, I'd guess, since you travel so much.

I'll keep an eye on /var/log/pm-suspend.log and will look for anything 
suspicious.  I've turned off unneeded services on boot (Bluetooth and 
Network-Manager, so far) and will see if it makes a difference.

One thing I noticed is that after several successful hibernations yesterday 
xconsole was reporting:

INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds. 

over and over.

Didn't try another hibernation but shutdown failed.  Related?  I don't know.  
I'll keep watch.
