Sorry chief... hate to burst your bubble, but I've gotten that error
over in Mandrake 9.0 as well.

Not nearly as reproducible as what Ken is talking about, but about 1 in
10 restarts.

Mainly I'm looking for a surefire way to reproduce before I submit.

What version of evo does RH8 use?  MDK9 uses 1.08.
