As Matthew mentioned, removing applesmc doesn't make a difference.

Has anybody tested this in Karmic, yet? I have a feeling it's not fixed
there, either. This is a significant problem to me. Several times I've
found my battery completely run down because the laptop awoke from
jostling in my backpack and never suspended again. It's also very
dangerous because the laptop is running in a confined space.

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
