OK, Got it! 

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but it appears that suspend-to-disk
doesn't work out-of-box if you have two active swap partitions, as I do.  I had
disabled one of them before for a test (and forgot about it), and that is when
hibernation started working for as long as I did hibernation/resumed-reboots. 
Then I did a hard shut down, and when I rebooted, both my swap partitions came
back, and hibernate broke again.  So I disabled one of them in fstab.  Feature
or bug?

One weird bit of behavior with hibernation.  It starts to suspend, almost
immediately spins down the disk, then spins it back up to write the resume data,
then finally spins down again.  Upon resume (from grub) it turns on USB as soon
as the kernel inits, then turns USB off as soon as it starts resuming (why?),
then spins down the hard drive (why?), re-activates USB, and then spins up the
drive and my system restores.  Seems like quite a few extra steps.  And while I
have an expert here, how do you start a suspend to disk from the command line,
instead of the gnome menu?   Thanks very much.
