so you are basically saying it's the hardware's/apm(acpi) 
implementation's fault?
then i don't understand that closing the lid under different 
circumstances is no problem as long i have a 2.2.x kernel running 
(doesn't matter if the kernel has apm compiled in); also the laptop 
doesn't enter standby, it just turns off the backlight.
- console mode
- framebuffer console mode
- XFree86 3.3.6 with framebuffer
works perfectly, which means nothing crashes when closing the lid
