Well, the live image basically runs in RAM already; suspending then
attempts to dump the whole running state to...RAM...
I honestly don't have a detailed tech explanation of how/why it doesn't
work, but it's one of those things I've just always kinda had on my
'yeah of course that doesn't work' list, and every so often someone
*does* try doing it and report that it doesn't work.
I appreciate this is a bit squishy. :) I'll try and test it out a bit
and see just how much it does / doesn't work, if I get time, but I've
got a lot of more urgent stuff on right now :(
