IIRC I put the system to sleep right in the middle of a batch compile. Survived just fine (again, powernowd not cpufreqd). sleep7 is rock solid, by my standard (and I've tested a few other versions before that I had crash a lot more often, mostly in the middle of some longish scroll operation in X). About the only issue I have with sleep7 is firewire - disks connected over sleep need to be replugged after wakeup. If I remember that, fine, otherwise I can only reboot. I don't do crazy stuff like unplugging mice before wakeup, mind you. And USB/firewire sleep support is being worked on by the respective maintainers, and not really an issue with Ben's patch. Michael
