Still no hot water. Called the SSH and found out that the hot water is out for our entire building complex due to a major leak in the recirculating hot water system, and that they are working on it.
Investigated a few ACPI things directly after breakfast. Found the raw event for my suspend button and confirmed that Andy did fix the shutdown after forced sleep/resume bug. Looked through the latest acpid sources and built it. Started looking briefly at how to make acpidisasm print a namespace tree. Maybe acpianalyze would work just as well for that, but I already know a little bit about acpidisasm's structure.
Still no hot water. How long does it take to fix a leaking pipe?

It's been 24 hours and now there's a truck outside, no, make that
two three trucks, from the maintenance company, Feenstra.
There are several people standing around "supervising" and one person
changing dozens of gaskets. Let's hope they are he is
working on the hot water system and not doing unrelated maintenance...
...And, after a few hours, two of three trucks are gone and only one
person is left. Here's hoping...
The changes to acpidisasm were reasonably simple, and of course once I had done them I realized that there was a better way to do it that would be far more useful, and did that. Next, I'll look at interpreting as resource descriptors ByteLists records that look like they belong to methods that would return resource descriptors. That will be trickier, and may not be worth it.
Well, the trucks and people all left, and a half hour later there was still no hot water, so I gave up and got the largest pot in the kitchen and heated water. Carrying it up two flights of stairs to the bathroom made me glad that I didn't live a few hundred years ago, especially as a servant in a large house where that would be daily work. About 20 minutes after Kim and I both finished sponge baths, the hot water started.
