I've encountered a strange problem on my 1gHz Powerbook G4 since I installed Panther and upgraded to 10.3.2. When I close the lid and put the computer to sleep with applications running, it invariably crashed on wake. That is, when I open the lid to begin using it again, it crashed, sometime immediately, always within a minute or 2. I get the dim screen power symbol "Your computer has crashed, please reboot" message. I think this is referred to as a kernel panic. I though it might be my Kensington Mouseworks software, but removing it didn't help. The other 3rd party software I have installed (that I thought might be problematic) is Palm Desktop (for OSX) and PocketMac (syncs a PocketPC with iSync), but the problem existed before I installed these.

The G4 has 768MB of ram and was originally running 10.2.8 with no crashes ever. It is still completely stable and never crashes if I don't put it to sleep. When I bought Panther (retail) and did an upgrade install, the problem started. I've since done an archive and install to try to fix it, but nothing's changed. Any ideas on how to fix, or where I can look to see what's happening?

Any help is appreciated.
