I have been having issues with Suspend/Resume for ... as long as it was
available in Solaris Express, so this really got me curious.  I tested this
and unfortunately it does not solve the problem for me.  Regardless I
thought I'd share my findings here:

My symptoms are that I can consistently suspend/resume once.  A second
suspend/resume always ends up with a black screen on the resume, requiring a
hard reset (hold power button until it shuts off).  Often this is
accompanied by the Fan spinning up.

I decided to try multiple suspend/resume cycles while logged in as root
(Something I just never do)  Strangely I managed fivi s/r cycles before it
hung on the sixth resume.  I then tried to repeat these results while logged
in as root, but could not reproduce my previous result, in stead I get the
"expected" hang on the second resume.

I also created a new non-root user, and tested multiple s/r cycles, but it
just hangs on the second resume.

All of this is on a Toshiba Tecra M5 with Solaris Express build 105.  SBIOS
is 3.60.  Root is ZFS.  The results appear to be consistent (independent of
power adaptor, wireless/lan connection, etc.

Cheers,
  _Johan
