Yeah. When my laptop would overlive such suspends ... The APM BIOS is
totally broken (and looks the machine at least after 3-5 minutes) and
the Linux ACPI support (which I use now) has not stable suspend
support yet ... :-(

But when you use suspend - your token get also invaild after 25 hours

The stange thing is, that direct coping to the server (in the moment
when the files gets closed) are much slower compared to the copy
during reintegration after a manual cfs disconnect.

btw. the speed was the same even with aethereal capturing the packages
...

After some sleep I'll take a look into the source.
