[Ti] Panicking on wake up

I do not agree with this. That is a Windoze methodology of system 
troubleshooting.

If your OS was previously working fine and "suddenly" this problem 
appeared, there is probably a solution. As a Unix-based OS, there are 
lot's of things built in to repair and restore the OS. However, this 
type of problem could signal hardware failure.

There are several threads in the Archives of this list that discussed 
similar problems.

Have you installed or modified anything around the time the crashing began?

I would run the hardware test disk that came with your TI,  then run 
Repair Permissions from the Disk Utility.  If the problem persists, 
then reboot into single user mode (hold down command & S keys on boot 
up. At prompt type in "fsck -y". This may take a while; repeat that 
command until the final output is: disk appears to be ok. Then type 
in reboot and let your system restart. Also resetting the power 
manager may do the trick, their are instructions for that in Sherlock 
-> AppleCare.

While this may sound complicated, all of those steps can be done in 
considerably less time that a back up and reinstall of the OS (and 
some of them will have to be done after the install anyway).
