Actually, hibernation mode is a part of operating systems power management feature. Windows has had it for a while, and it looks like Linux does too, but only within the last year has it become reliable. :-)
Adam Engst's TidBITS has some interesting information, cautions, and scripts for hibernation mode use. One major caution seems to be not moving the machine for almost one minute while it writes all that data. Another issue that came up was difficulty in shutting down (permanently) hibernation mode.
It does seem like a great feature for people who swap out batteries occasionally. Might even be great for other reasons; the TidBITS article might be valuable to people using hibernation mode.
