This is generally a result of an out-of-date PAM module, or a
pam.conf that is out of date.

This is likely an ACPI or device driver issue.  Since you know
the approximate time, you can bsearch for the kernel change
that caused it.  You will be able to get it down to a 1 hour time
window with only 8 kernel builds.  Have you ever played "Higher
and Lower"?  Start with a kernel from 84 hours ago (3.5 days * 24
hours).  If it has the problem, try a kernel from 126 hours ago;
if it doesn't, try a kernel from 42 hours ago.  Stop when you find
the hour that introduce the problem.  Doing this will always take
you at most log2(# of hours)+1 tries to find any kernel change that
caused your problem.  8-).

I've been using -CURRENT for while now and have finally gotten some time to 
come up with a list of problems I'm getting:
When I su to change to the root user I get a "Bus Error" from su.  This have 
been around for about a month, still happens after multiple build and install 
worlds, I just haven't gotten around to reporting it.
About a week ago I started to have the laptop reboot when is comes out of 
suspend, which it never used to do.
Let me know what further info i need to provide.
