suspend vs. SD card

I don't yet know how repeatable this is.  I have an SD card inserted 
into my G1G1.  On that SD card I keep "persistent" files, including 
some bash scripts.  In my .bashrc I add this SD-card-directory to 
the PATH.

Was demonstrating the XO (693) to an acquaintance, and physically 
configured it into e-book mode (screen flat).  When I unfolded the 
XO (screen perpendicular), it was suspended (screen dim).  In using 
Terminal afterward, the response given when I entered an SD-card 
bash_script_name was 'unknown command'.

It appeared to me that the 'resume' following the suspension had 
re-interrogated the SD card (was power to it turned off by suspend?) 
and had somehow "mixed up" access to it.  My recovery was to reboot.
