Ha!  Don't we all wish!  ;-)

And since you brought up the topic it is, in some sense, already
packaged.  Its called:

  kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 + ThinkPad T42p + use of ACPI S3

and the above combo produces strange times every time I do a suspend and
resume cycle.  The problem is fixed in kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 but that
kernel seems to cause occasional complete lock-ups that leave absolutely
no trace in /var/log/messages.

And yes, I know that these things should get added to bugzilla.  I'm
just utterly perplexed as to what I ought to put in a bugzilla entry
describing the lockups.  I'm hoping that some pattern will emerge so
that I can make some guesses as to whats triggering it.
