I wouldn't really blame lid, as I'm almost sure I had the lid event overflow when the lid button was not touched at all during the cycle. From what I understand, the situation is connected with thermal zone handling, I can almost be sure that if an active thermal trip point is hit during the resume process, the lid events will appear. I don't yet know if it's connected with bug #1185. FYI: 1) There *was* something in swsusp code that caused keventd to spit those events at resume specifically when the lid was closed during suspend, but that was an ancient version of the code and AFAIR you fixed it right away, 2) I've had this problem occasionally occuring for months and I remember I once managed to calm keventd down by suspending and resuming again, 3) This may indeed be somehow related to swsusp, as the occurence rate of this problem has risen with recent versions of swsusp (but there's too many variables to confirm that and trying to reproduce the problem is a tedious task).
