Same thing happens on my laptop if I force it to suspend e.g. by
deliberately running down the battery. Note that it you leave a
laptop running 24x7 on mains power, the battery will die fairly
quickly - it needs to be discharged & recharged occasionally if it is
going to stay healthy.
I guess the CPU cycle counters get set to zero, so when the last
saved value is subtracted from it, the result is negative. After the
first line following wake-up, everything is normal.
The residues obtained by continuing the run through the suspend
operation appear to be as good as any others ...
