This was only a limited fix and didn't resolve all the wake from sleep issues like the one I had. I had 10.6.5 running and still had the issue.

I sitll have the deep sleep problem. My 13" MBA kernel panics when it wakes to go into deep sleep. I disabled deep sleep entirely and it's now fine. Way to test apple!
