problem also happens when I try the sim/axis and sim/tklinuxcnc configs.

Sometimes Linuxcnc comes up and runs fine, but about every second or third time 
I launch it, I get this error: http://pastebin.com/LSJGvCJX  ([EMC]DEBUG = 
0x7FFFFFFF).   If I just dismiss the error and launch again it comes up fine.   
I tried this on identical hardware set up that I dd'd this build and 
configuration to and it happens there as well.

Weird!

The first thing that comes to mind is a startup race condition.

Can you build linuxcnc from git on this machine? If so try the attached patch (against the current head of v2.5_branch) and pastebin the output from a successful and failed launch. If not, let me know and i'll build a deb for you.
