It's still beta.  Right, i'm not surprised either.

Well, FWIW  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350313
When i got in, the crash-detected icon showed; i followed it then said that
bug is a possible duplicate; my logs may or may not be effectively the
same as what was posted to the original bug.
I'm not interested in investing much effort in hibernating a spare tower,
but thanks anyway.
Hmm, now that i applied updates while we were discussing this... it goes
straight to unlock, no hibernate/power-off.  Yeah, beta.

> [CL] good fix to know, just in case.

Right, the reason for my post was to share the clear-swap technique
with the list.

Right, i would guess it is specific machines with hibernate issues -
hmm, wonder what percentage - my nose says guess it has something
to do with BIOS quality.
FWIW i can hibernate & resume just fine afaict despite some errors on
console during hibernation, in U-8.04-LTS on dell inspiron 1525 laptop
(that's not gonna get any beta system) - in fact, logging in as user1,
switch-user to user2, hibernate as user2, power up, switch user to user1
(without first re-entering user2)... worked fine :)
