Geeze! We should have noticed that it was "hibernation". Yeah, that
writes the entire RAM out to swap. Insufficient swap will sure cause
hibernation to not work.
It doesn't write the entire RAM, just what's in use, but I get it.
However I added a large swap file to bring the total up to 16GB and it
*still* fails in the same way. And no, I'm not using more than 16GB of
virtual memory:
$ free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 16361232 9910132 645876 497680 5805224 5503832
Swap: 16588792 3653100 12935692
The plot thickens.
