Um, no, that's not how standby works. It doesn't copy data from some other
place into memory. It doesn't require some minimum amount of memory. It just
keeps whatever is in memory alive with a small amount of battery power.
The problem Paul ran into sounds a lot more like a missing power management
driver.
