If by fails you mean enters standby mode, then yes the computer enters
standby mode while the system is active, after the period of time set in
the bios, as long as no keys have been pressed on the keyboard during
that time.

Yes, although this doesn't happen every time, sometimes everything is ok
after a resume.
This seems to be very repeatable following these steps.
cd /usr/bin
cp * /tmp &
sleep 1 && apm -z (while copy is still in progress)
[hit a key]
any new process started freezes, nothing happens (including logins in
getty, halt etc).

It does not appear to be apmd causing the problem since it occurs
without apmd running.

I just recently enabled apm & apmd, I had the problem of it going to
standby mode while the system was busy awhile ago so disabled apm,
however the problem of not being able to start new process is new.

Yes, this is a desktop PC.
