suspend to ram for a long time

[Michael F. Rimbert]

I too have discovered that resuming from suspend-to-ram does not work
after long periods of time.  On the Toshiba Tecra A2, resuming works as
expected for short periods of time, but I cannot resume if I leave the
machine suspended overnight.  I get a black screen, and occasionally see
the watch (or wait) mouse cursor, but am unable to return to X.
Further, I cannot switch to a virtual console, and rebooting appears to
be the only remedy.
