I've found that if I'm on AC power and I have any PCMCIA cards installed
and powered then the BIOS does not report user suspend events.  I have to
unpower them and then the BIOS will report user suspend events.  On DC
power it always reports the events. 

It's quite possible that there is something in IBM's SMAPI that controls
this, I doubt there's anything in the APM BIOS that controls it.
