It's hard to reproduce Colin. No, PC doesn't suspend. I run tail -f on
my syslog each morning when I get up and let it run like that until I
call it a night. The PC stays on 24/7 however. For instance just now I
quit and restarted Evo

I just shut down Firefox, it happened, restarted Firefox, did not
happen. Shut Firefox down again, it did not happen. Started Firefox
again, it happened. Started XFE, did not happen, closed XFE it
happened. So, as you can see it appears to be very, very random as to
when it happens. I run logcheck every hour and I can safely say that
immediately after my upgrade to 18.04LTS on Aug 16th this appeared in
my syslog.

Glad you said you're seeing the same thing on your end. I was beginning
to think that I was the only person in the whole world that saw this.
