If it was that easy, I'd be bisecting it by now ;-)

This, like a bunch of other really weird bugs that we have no explanation for,
only seems to be being hit by a small minority of users.

One common thing seems to be that they were all quad core intel
boxes, with i915 graphics.

We have some reports of i915 causing memory corruption after suspend/hibernate,
but none of these reports mention whether they've done that (I just asked).
