I kinda missed who wrote what about this function, but IIRC, I would have consistent crashes of the filing system (reiser) under 9.3 when suspending to disk and trying to resume. These problems went away in 10.0 and have not been present at all in 10.2. I suspend my laptops to disk on a routine basis and have yet to see an issue. -- ka -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
