Yes I understand, but it is often not helpful to file a bug unless there
is something to file it against.

Yes, there is a driver for the accelerometer in the Macbook Pro. I
believe that applesmc enables this hardware on certain machines. I am
not sure what hardware it works on, or if it is normally turned off.

You could try unloading the applesmc module and suspending and see if
you get the same behavior.

Bug description:
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
