I'll confirm it on one of my Akitas.

In my case it was Opie, not GPE.  I thought it had hung too, and went through the \
whole hard reset cycle just like you.  I was trying to do some package installation, \
but the ppp-dialin postinst script is broken, and prevents any other package \
installation.  After a while the screen went black again, and out of desparation more \
than anything I tapped the screen, and lo and behold it came alive.  Not sure why or \
what. 

OZ looks to be what I will end up running; I would love to run the full KDE 3.5 on \
it, though.. :-)

Oh, and I am browsing bugzilla, and if this isn't in there I'll file a formal bug \
report.  I used bugzilla a long time ago as a Red Hat Beta Tester; it'll take a \
little while to get back into the swing of it, as it's not my favorite bugtracker.

Also, I'm trying to rebuild using bitbake and org.openembedded.oz354x and have run \
into the same issues George did;  this wasn't on a gcc4 machine, either, it was on a \
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 clone (CentOS 4).  Got all the bitbake stuff, monotone, \
etc built, but it kept barfing trying to run localedef.  Trying again, will report \
                back if it makes it through.
