Well, this used to work back when we were using relative time
instead of absolute time.  Then someone came along and changed
it for suspend/resume.

I didn't like this new behaviour but Dave convinced me that
it is a good thing :)

I guess I can live with your workaround if Dave is happy with
it.  But IMHO we should just go back to relative time and fix
the suspend/resume user-space scripts instead.

Cheers,
