I hope not :-)

Obviously there is no link between the fact of commenting THIS line  
and a Rev crash but a problem when compiling/saving the script.

Yes, Ken's advice is always very valuable :-)
Always read all his posts: you can be sure there is something to  
learn...

I am not the right 'Dude' :-) to tell you about Linux and all its  
flavors:
I only work with Mac OS X, XP and Vista.
But...
I know that many guys here work with Linux and don't seem to have all  
the troubles you report:
Have you tried to reinstall Linux completely?
Any software is so closely tied to the system...

PS. Hope you'll find the solution before the 6th month ;-)

Best regards from Paris,
