Spoke too soon.  My build tree that had the success was 2.6.6-mm6, so I 
re-built a clean 2.6.6 from tarball using the .config from the successful 
run, CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.  It fails.  2.6.6-mm5 works, but only if 
CONFIG_PREEMPT=n.

I have to get to my day job now, but whats up with the flakieness of the 
swsusp?  Shouldn't it be mostly working by now?
