Hmmm, there might be a similarity between these:

In both times it happened after I made at least one suspend to ram cycle.
Yesterday I plugged the laptop to my hi-fi and forget to switch on the
power extension lead. Thus KDE's Power management suspended to RAM after
15 minutes of inactivity.

So maybe suspend to RAM interferes somehow.

Additionally I tend to get Radeon DRM KMS graphics corruption with that
kernel. And even a complete lockup once.

I think I will try 2.6.35-rc5 or whatever is latest with Nigel's patches
from Nigel's for-rafael branch in order to isolate whether what I see is
an issue with Nigel's patches or with any of the other stuff in suspend-
next.

Unless to have some newer stuff for me to test with.
