[Launchpad Bug Tracker <830267@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Recently, hibernation on my Thinkpad T61 fails now and again. All goes as usual, with HD-activity clearly indicating that the image is written to the disk. But then the process suddenly stops, and the screen displays:
 PM: not enough free memory
 PM:error -12 creating hibernation image
The computer needs to be forcedly powered off from this state, and boots up without restoring the next time.

My concern is not so much that hibernation fails, but that it leaves the
user with no option of recovering from this state. I.e., if hibernation
is not possible for whatever reason, I may want to save my work, exit my
programs regularly, and shut down the computer. As things are, I have no
chance: my session is simply lost.
