I am running on an ASUS laptop, which OpenBSD may have disabled APM support to remain compatible. Anyway, I can't run ZZZ even as root (unless there is a setting that demands to be flipped somewhere). It takes a few seconds to save the state and return using the virtualbox utility and it is as if nothing happened to stop it. What happens on another machine in which the battery goes out on the motherboard that powers the clock. if you hibernate while you are running a preferable uninterruptible process, you are screwed if your work demands an accurate clock.
