I never had that trouble on Linux, because I've never run it on a machine 
where either hibernate or standby even starts to work. ;-)

Even under VirtualPC, hibernate works, but it crashes when you start it up 
again, then goes thru a presumedly longer boot sequence where it finds the 
hibernation file and reloads it, so it works better under VirtualPC than it 
ever did for me on actual hardware.  (Of course, I'm one of those for whom 
Linux is cursed, so YMMV.)

Under Windows, only my TV tuner card doesn't recover reliably from anything 
but being turned off for several minutes, but it used to work, so I'm 
thinking that might be a hardware problem. It used to work, but I think I 
might have overheated the machine it was originally in. One of these days, I 
need to take the 10 minutes it would take to change it out for the other 
card and see if it's any better.
