Sorry that I missed that bug report. Unfortunately, without the traceback from
the occurrence of the bug, it will be very difficult to find the problem.
If you add a script to unload the module when the machine hibernates or
suspends, and reloads it on startup, you should be able to avoid the lockups.
I will try to duplicate the problem here.
