Sorry about this, but that was a misleading result.  After umteen
successful s2disk suspends with my Skype workaround, it started
happnening again even without Skype running.

I guess that'll teach me to pronounce success so strongly when an intermittent
problem is involved.  :)

At any rate, my current fix that is working *so far* is to go back to
the non-modesetting intel xorg driver.  Again, I only mention this here
for documentation purposes.

Sorry for the previous Skype noise.
