	Yeah, someone started the thread a week or so ago but they said
that the issue happens in Linux and also Windows but they can't prove it
happens in Windows or what the problem is exactly then when I got my new
HD to replace the one that crashed, I saw your link just in time and
thanks to your site and the patch, this is the first time I can run
FreeBSD -CURRENT in the last 9 months with the lid closed and the screen
off without suspending.
