Sigh,

I think that my last yum update is what did the damage...
I was running 2.6.38.7-32.fc15.i686.PAE after finding
out that sleep was buggered in 2.6.38.7-35.fc15.i686.PAE 
and when I did the yum update this morning, sleep changed so now it locks the
machine.

I have dropped back to 2.6.38.7-30.fc15.i686.PAE. It still sleeps
ok.

so 2.6.38.7-35.fc15.i686.PAE and 2.6.38.7-32.fc15.i686.PAE are
now buggered. 

It appears that something is being clobbered
by recent yum updates.

I stand corrected...

VirtualBox version 4.1 kernel modules are the problem

If present, sleep locks the machine.
If I rmmod the rascal the machine can sleep and recover.

ah, that's something you'll need to bring up with the vbox maintainers.

that stuff causes us no end of problems.
