I've experienced similar issues in Gentoo. This is why the official
Gentoo version still sits at the 0.5.7.1 series. However we're using a
stock kernel and I've had the same thing happen with kernel 2.6.17 and
2.6.18. udev 100 through 103. I haven't had time to debug the issue,
except the result log file looks similar to what your log was in your
other e-mail.
