It could be something like this. I think my habits changed at some

unplug everything else, but I found that my laptop would wake up in my
backpack because of the USB devices disconnecting. Then, as often as
not, the machine would stay on and fry itself in my padded backpack.
So I started unplugging everything but the power, waiting for the
machine to sleep, then unplugging the power. Unfortunately it's not
predictable enough for me to test one procedure vs. another...
I believe the consistent approach to going to sleep would be:
- Unplug everything but power, leaving the machine open and
"running".
- Wait a little bit :-)
- Close the lid and wait for sleep to begin.
- Remove power and put it away.
Removing perhipherals after going to sleep tends to wait it up.
I learned to do this when I first got my PB Ti400 back in OSX10.0 days.
It would always crash if plugs of any kind were manipulated while the
lid was closed. Since Jaguar, I had been laughing at myself since I
was sure these bugs had been worked out of the system, but I kept on
doing it. I regularly had uptimes of weeks while going back and forth
to work every day.
As noted earlier in the thread, since OSX 10.3.6 I too have had more
crashes including a double whammie two in a row lockup when trying to
give a seminar using a projector and letting it sleep while moving
things around.
-Keep the battery reasonably charged
-don't mess with any plugs or peripherals with the lid closed
(sleeping).
