[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#584314: base: System freezes at random time after Resume from Suspend (Regression)

[Andreas Berger]

Package: base
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Suspend Laptop to RAM
2: Resume from Suspend
3: Wait and see, preferably monitoring top:
At some random time, ranging from immediately (black screen after resume) to several hours later, the system will become unresponsive. Switching to tty1 or killing xorg with Alt+Print+K does not work, Alt+Print+REISUB does work. Each freeze is anticipated by a random process (this time it was mandb, was installing something) hogging 100% of CPU, then the System becomes gradually unresponsive within a minute or so (panel, metacity, finally mouse cursor freezes too). Additionally, i don't know if this is related, i noticed one process using 9999% of CPU according to top, just thought i'd mention it.
This bug constitutes a regression, suspend does work flawlessly on this Laptop in Lenny.
Also, i encountered this bug in Ubuntu 9.10 (ironically, this was the one that pushed me over the edge to switch to debian), the corresponding bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/480850
Hardware is an Acer Aspire 5610 Laptop, please advise me on what more specific information to gather and what else to do, I'm happy to try out anything you suggest.

I assigned this bug to base because reportbug forced me to choose something, but i can only guess about the package, please reassign it.
