The debug > output should make that clear, though. All is now revealed. I had made the mistake of thinking that /var/log/pm-suspend only contains what was also sent to stdout/stderr. It doesn't, it reports also on how the hooks behave. /var/log/pm-suspend indicates that the problem was that the 55wicd hook was hanging on thawing. I think this is a re-emergence of the fact that the reloading of the wireless modules also tries to bring up the wireless interface via udev and wicd could not handle two such requests at the same time. udev always has to get there first because the modules have to be loaded before any calls are made to wicd. Simply commenting out the attempt to bring back the wireless interface in 55wicd when thawing/resuming solves the problem. The reloading of the wireless modules will bring up the interface by itself (via udev). With that change, all now seems to work happily. Quite why 55wicd only hung on the first hibernate/thaw cycle in any user session is not clear but I guess that's hardware for you. Thanks for the help.
