Bug Description
My MacBook 5.1 (late 2008 aluminum model) resumes from suspend (wakes) when dropped or jostled mildly. This is very undesirable behavior. The computer has woken several times during travel and gotten dangerously hot in its sleeve once. When I set it down today I noticed it turned on before I opened the lid. I then repeated by suspending and gently dropping it again and sure enough, it's waking when being jostled like this.
Steps to repeat:
1) Suspend
2) Shake, thump, or gently drop the MacBook
3) Observe that it resumes, even with lid closed

Chris,
For the future, some advice. When you file a bug, you really need to find a package to file it against otherwise no developers will look at it.
I am taking a stab at saying that this is likely due to the sudden motion sensor, and I think it is controlled by the applesmc linux module, or it is a problem with the power management system in Ubuntu.
