How do you suspend?

This surprises me. Are you sure this is the only difference? From what you're
describing I cannot see how it's acpid related at all.

Btw. here are the changes between 2.0.3 and 2.0.4:

- Replaced all the mandb code in the makefile with a comment.  (Makefile) 
- Revamped logging.  (acpid.c event.c inotify_handler.c input_layer.c netlink.c proc.c sock.c) 
- Removed CR's (\r) from files.  (Changelog connection_list.c sock.c)
- Cleaned up the samples directory a bit.  Also added powerbtn samples taken from Debian.  (samples/*)
- Removed the %changelog token from the top of the Changelog.  This appears to be a Red Hat-ism.

Hardly anything that can produce the described problem.

You know that acpid only listens to some interfaces for acpi events and then
executes script accordingly? The functionality you describe is located in the
kernel, I cannot see how acpid has any influence. Could you please check that
you have the same set of modules installed when testing with 2.0.3 and 2.0.4?
