Well, I'm on SuSE8.1, and no - RP doesn't do anything which leaves the system 
requiring a reboot, but... I find that it will (either or all of) (a) refuse 
to connect (even to a local file); (b) spontaneously abend; or (c) play a 
stream (or local file) for a few seconds before freezing - requiring a kill. 
The only way to get RP working again in this situation is a reboot.
