Good.  I was afraid it was supposed to be that way, for some reason.
I'm working on and off on scripting a working suspend-to-disk for my
system (non-trivial as it's dual CPU Opteron, and that's only beginning to
be supported, so I have to figure out what I can safely continue running
and what has to be manually killed to safely suspend, then manually
restarted afterward), and am using changes in runlevels to handle killing
the network and etc, as the interrupts from it interfere with the suspend
stuff. Watching it kill and restart the stuff in both runlevels every time
was getting irritating, so I'm glad it's not /supposed/ to be that way. <g>

So that means don't bother filing a bug, then, as you are already working
on it?

Always nice to be able to clear out a bunch of old cruft! =8^)
