Public bug reported:

My MacBook 5.1 (late 2008 aluminum model) resumes from suspend (wakes)
when dropped or jostled mildly. This is very undesirable behavior. The
computer has woken several times during travel and gotten dangerously
hot in its sleeve once. When I set it down today I noticed it turned on
before I opened the lid. I then repeated by suspending and gently
dropping it again and sure enough, it's waking when being jostled like
this.

Steps to repeat:
1) Suspend
2) Shake, thump, or gently drop the MacBook
3) Observe that it resumes, even with lid closed
