PMUD shuts down machine on lid closing

Hi all.

So my last message (inquiring about how to put a tibook rev III to
sleep and wake it up too) got no answer, hence I assume that nobody
got deep enough into the details of this machine's power management.
Incidentally, if you happen to know (or suspect) at least what is the
cause of such a behaviour (failing to wake up), I would really
appreciate if you let me know. FYI, I have recently compiled (in
various configurations) a kernel from the latest benh-devel source,
and the problem persists.

Anyway, I am now running pmud with the -k argument (just power off the
monitor instead of putting the machine to sleep), but I ran into
another problem: On AC everything works as expected. On battery
though, pmud powers off the display alright, but after five minutes or
so it also insists in shutting down the machine altogether! And it
does not even bother to sync the filesystem before...

Anybody has any idea how to convince pmud to behave? Again, any kind
of information is much appreciated. Oh, yes, I should mention that the
machine in discusion is the same tibook (rev. III).

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
