I'm not sure this is something that we want to put effort into fixing.
Suspending a system is naturally going to interfere with numerous IPC
mechanisms.  You'd expect, for example, tcp connections to close after
the machine had been suspending for a certain amount of time.

I'll pass this along to the upstream developers.  They may find it
worthwhile to add some more aggressive recovery attempts when this
situation comes up.
