Suspend is not broken by itself, it's your BIOS (very likely) or maybe a 
kernel driver that is broken. So I don't see the point in disabling the 
feature here. According to your logic we might disabling sound because playing 
sound might crash systems with broken audio drivers. Or maybee we shsould also 
disable Kwin composite because it freezes system using broken dirver like my 
intel. I hope you get the idea. ;-)
