    Aaron, I had a similar experience with lab 8, which I never did rectify.
I had my OSPF into BGP back into OSPF and yes, when I did I debug IP OSPF
packet, my problem was an external LSA being generated everytime my isdn
went down.
    The link would go down, would send that into BGP on 1 router, who would
then send that back into OSPF, who would genreate the external LSA, and the
cycle continued.
    If you debug ip ospf packet, you should see the route that is generating
the loop.
    One good thing is I am going over route redistribution in both Doyles
and Caslows book.
    Whenever I redistribute routes mutually, I filter out the native routes
from the other protocol's routes. So if I redistribute rip into ospf and
ospf back into rip, I filter out the rip routes inbound on the ospf process,
and the ospf routes in on the rip processes to prevent feedback. Of course
on the lab it won't be so easy!
    Please let me know what you find out.
