It seems this staircase scheduler has some strange interactions with networking and PM suspend. I can't suspend my laptop when any program is using the network and, what's more, after the suspend mechanism fails, the program that was using the network stays stuck at D state and can't be killed.
I can trigger this with evolution 1.4.8 using an IMAP mail account, or simply by launching Konqueror, pointing it to a URL and then try suspending while Konqueror is retrieving the page from Internet.
I'm open to suggestions.
