I don't think there's anything abnormal there: the cardmgr probably emits
these messages before the machine suspends all right just syslogd doesn't
get a chance to write them out to the messages file before you resume
operation. I haven't looked into the syslogd source but I can easily
imagine that the time stamps correspond to the time the message is written
out not when it was initiated; there's normally no substantial difference
between the two and there may not be an easy way to do otherwise. If
you're curious use the source ;).
Hope this helps.
