I have finally found the fix for this issue on my system at least. I was building a new server for eqemu and decided to use gentoo hardened instead of regular gentoo like I usually use. In using the hardened kernal and hardened gentoo profile I found that I do not experience this issue anymore. I rebuilt the same exact system over again using standard gentoo and standard gentoo-sources and blam the issue returned. So I rebuilt the entire system again using hardened and no issue.
The major difference I can see between running the standard gentoo server profile and the hardened profile, besides the more stable and secure kernel is the fact that hardened uses gcc 3.6.x and standard uses gcc 4.2.x
So it seems that the emulator may be more stable and less buggy if it is built with gcc 3.6.x vs 4.2.x?
Just an observation...
