Just the permissions and ownership. RAM contents are going to change over time so you will make a new image each time you sleep.
Got a tip for us?

Right.
But it's expected that it's root:wheel, as the system is the only thing that need to read/write from that at wake/sleep.
Removing it via Finder will just prompt one for admin authentication.
Update:
Removing the sleepimage file seemed to only have temp success for me.
This issue is back in full force. 🙁
Lee, do you have 3rd party RAM? I've not heard complaints from any of my users about this, only from the tech-saavy ones who definitely put 3rd party RAM in. Yes, I'm grasping at straws.

Ooh boy, this is a fun one.
There are a bunch of things that can cause this:
1) WOL. Unlikely.
2) Faulty USB controller. I've seen this happen on two MBs so far.
3) Faulty BT module. Triggers a wakeup as the bus sees the frequent addition/removal of the module in question.
4) Faulty PMU.
5) Faulty lid sensor switch.
6) Misc. logic board fault.
7) You've got a USB device plugged in which is triggering the wakeups. Common culprits are USB 1.1 devices, but really any USB device can trigger a wakeup.

I know there's some sort of relation between the sleeping issue and the Deep Sleep widget. I haven't used that in months though.
It's just when it starts happening at random. I didn't encounter it under 10.5.8 until last night.
