It's not fatal (although it may initially seem so), but it is a royal pain.

I own two PEs, I have one and my son has the other. I usually put my PE into hibernation by long pressing the Rotate button on the LCD side and then choose hibernate. I never use the power switch to initiate hibernate or shut down my PE, I long press the Rotate button instead which brings up the hibernate / power off menu. I have done this for awhile now and have not had nay problems getting the PE to wake up. In fact, I have left the PE in hibernate for 24 hours or more and it still wakes up. You have to make sure you use the Menu button every time and not say the Back Arrow or Home Screen button. I did this a few times after buying me PE and couldn't get it to come out of hibernation, but I was able to power the PE off by long holding the power switch. Ever since exclusively using the Menu button to wake up the PE I haven't had a single problem for months and I use the manual method of putting the PE into hibernate almost all the time. I also have a full size EE and never had a single hibernation issue so I guess I'm lucky. I bought it used from an Entourage forum member who did a factory reset that slicked all the data and left Ermine in tact.
