XFCE Suspend wakes immediately, successful suspend on second attempt

Previously (in the last month), suspend worked as intended when manually selecting the button, or when idle timeout.

Now, the following happens:

Select suspend from the XFCE logout panel.
The system enters suspend state.
Immediately the CDROM self test and Hard Disks are spun up like a system reboot has occured.
The system resumes its normal state as if I had never selected anything.
I select SUSPEND again, the system suspends normally, wakes on keypress normally.

I don't know why I have to press it twice now, when I didn't before.  I haven't updated any software in months.
The only change I made was to the bios fan control points after removing a fan.

Thoughts?

check out this specific post and then read the complete thread to get a better idea of what you are up against:

another thought is if your free hard drive space is below a certain amount, then that will cause strange machine behavior
