i'm seeing the same, but on 2.4.16-ben0 on a pismo powerbook.
it does not happen every time, but often enough to be almost
unusable.

i *think* it gets triggered when i hit a button immediately after
the screen has blanked. when i wait a couple of seconds until the
suspend led has started blinking, i get the machine back most of the
time.

when it dies, the hd comes up, but the screen remains black. i tried
blind-typing "reboot" in a root shell, but nothing happened. i could
not ssh into the box from outside. there are no ping echos.
