Weird powerdowns

My iBook has started powering down or going in/out of sleep mode when moved relatively sharply - e.g. off my lap and onto the table beside me when getting up. It doesn't happen all the time, and it only ever happens when using OSX and not Linux (very, very weird, that).
Is this a hardware fault or have I got a poltergeist in my OSX install?

OS X has no way of knowing whether or not your iBook is moving. It's not software. Linux doesn't usually support sleep properly. This sounds like a hardware problem.

Linux does support the sleep properly, as of the as-yet-unrelease 2.6.11 kernel
I assumed it was a hardware issue, but as I know the Powerbooks *do* have a hardware motion sensor I was wondering if the iBook has any such gizmos that OSX could be wired to and Linux not.
