Suspend bug

Hi All -
   I had an oddity occur yesterday.  Two days ago, my wife need to use 
my laptop briefly so I unplugged it from its wall wart and moved it to 
where she could access it.  After she was done I plugged it back in to 
the wall wart and assumed all was good.  Yesterday I found the laptop in 
some sort of "suspended" condition with the caps lock light blinking, 
other lights (power, touchpad, etc.) on but the system totally 
unresponsive.  I tried some of the resume actions that normally bring it 
back from say closing the lid but eventually had to reboot using the 
power button.  Normally, the system will not go into suspend when it's 
attached to the wall wart.  I did not see this behavior when I tested 
suspend to RAM by unplugging the wall wart and holding the lid button 
down or selecting suspend.

   I consider this to be a bug but I'm not sure which component it's 
against.  The bug is the system state should have gone back to "running 
on AC power" and not even attempted to suspend.  I will BZ this if there 
isn't an existing bug report.  Any suggestions as to which component the 
bug should be against?

   The laptop is an HP Pavilion (zv6015) model running FC6 x86_64 with 
all updates applied.  If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get the 
system out of this state, I'd also find that useful.

Thanks,
Dave
