... so would adding a timeout or a missed-interrupt kicker be a good idea?
(Something like the one in the 'sio' driver that catches lost serial
interrupts?)

The hang _must_ be something in the pccard code; if I eject the card before
I close the lid, it suspends OK. I can reinsert it after I resume and
all is well again.
It's not edsuspend :
static void
edsuspend(struct pccard_dev *dp)
{
printf("ed%d: suspending\n", dp->isahd.id_unit);
}
... I'm guessing that it probably has to do with powering the slot down. I
need to spend some time with it when I'm not running a fever or being
pressured to do Real Work. I may get a chance tonight if I can find some
appropriate drugs to kill the pain.
