Managed to duplicate - but it took again a long time - I have an uptime 
of 29 days.
It must have happened in the last day, as I kept checking as often as I 
remembered.

The kernel is 4.8.17 EOL, installed almost a month ago.
Platform ThinkPad x60,  Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU      T2400  @ 1.83GHz

In dmesg I see that it used to be when 2 CPUs were OK:
[690409.476107] PM: noirq suspend of devices complete after 79.914 msecs
[690409.476547] ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3

[690409.920185] CPU1 is up
[690409.922288] ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3

Then the CPU1 failed to start:

[691329.776108] PM: noirq suspend of devices complete after 79.941 msecs
[691329.776550] ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3

And now it is:
[692517.868523] ACPI: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3
[692518.172074] ACPI : EC: EC stopped

[692518.172269] PM: Restoring platform NVS memory
[692518.172269] ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3

Is there any test I could do on the CPU wakeup while in that state?
