Unloading/reloading the applesmc module makes no difference. Whilst we
can disable that feature, it could be very useful. So it is desirable
that this be fixed.

Kind Regards,

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
