receiving SMS messages

[W.Kenworthy]

This is what seems to happen for me on 2007.2 on the Oz vodafone
network.  Sent an sms (didnt ask for rx) to the phone after it had been
in dim&lock for a couple of hours.  No indication of message  - phone
didnt wakeup.  On actually waking phone, by pressing pwr button some 10
minutes after sending the sms, the message received ring sounded as the
display became live.

As sms reception did wakeup the phone at some point, a bug has been
introduced somewhere that needs tracking down.
