Hi,
Interesting problem!
Question is: in suspend mode the system is suspended, the CPU is sleeping,
and only the memory contents is kept alive, that's all.
As the rest of the mainboardcomponents are powerless (to save energy), the
clock registers are just not energised, and it gives it's default value,
equal to the situation where you removed the backup battery.
I also wonder HOW the system is able to run a script while it's
idle.....??????
just my 2 cents worth..
Cheers
Robbert
