New description:

 suspend/resume itself seems to work correctly, via /sys/power/state, from
 either Terminal or a VT. however, in the case of using a VT to commence
 the suspend, on resume a) the screen often flashes and loses data, and b)
 sometimes many 30 or more) extra shell prompts are produced.  it looks as
 if the enter key which was used to finish the "echo mem" may be repeating.

 this was os41 (the second version) and q3a16 on a B3.

Comment(by Quozl):

 On os42 with a B2, the excess enter keystrokes reproduces more easily.

 Adding "sleep 1;" before the ''echo'', and ensuring the enter key is
 released before a second has elapsed ... is a workaround.
