That's interesting; since my original report last December I discovered
that same behaviour with 8.0-R. During the 60s resume stall period, iff
I'd suspended from a VTY, I found I could slowly (like maybe 3 seconds
per character echoed) type a command, and some commands - possibly those
cached? as there's no HD access - would run after another few seconds.
In this way I discovered that 'date' commands reported the time some
seconds after the resume (perhaps hours ago, or yesterday) until the
stall ended, disk light flashed and normality resumed, sometimes with
"calcru: time went backwards .." messages, most often for devd. Since
upgrading to 8.1-STABLE that clue? has gone; nothing typed is echoed.
Are you referring to 8.1-RELEASE or to 8-STABLE as at some date?

That's a difference then; 7.0-R then 7.2-STABLE (late December, anyway)
had no such issues here on my T23.
When it clears up after a wet week and I have some spare power again
I'll try building a debug kernel, perhaps omitting and kldoading USB,
and do some more tests before reporting further, probably in mobile@
and acpi@ again. I'll copy you and Ted when I do so.
Thanks, Ian
