When typed 'zzz<enter>' and release the <enter> key...

It seems the features of some ThinkPad machines.  I've heard that NIC
and Modem pccards cause problems on some TP.  I think you can find the
descriptions about this from TP manuals.  These cards put the machine
in standby state instead of suspend, so the machine wakes up by any
interrupt in few seconds, IIRC.  Maybe hibernation will get the same
kind of problems.
We had cli asm (disable interrupts) before calling APM BIOS call in
FreeBSD 2.2.8, but this also seems to cause other problems and cli was
deleted.

How about using apmd?  If pccardc power command can replace
[un]plugging cards manualy then you can specify the procedures in
/etc/apmd.conf.  This is for apm events like lid closing, not for zzz/apm -z
though...
