A Small Number Of Engineering Shops

In short, a sealed, ball race bearing is used to support the flywheel end of the intermediate shaft. Over time, the grease in the bearing can dry-out - often aided by excessive running temperatures as some of the bearings are a very tight fit in the casing due to production tolerances. As the bearing is sealed, oil from the engine can't normally enter the housing (although it sometimes does, with the effect that the bearings go on 'forever' ) and the bearing eventually breaks-up leading to catastrophic failure. It appears that the main reason for the failures - the lack of lubrication as the bearing ages - has never been correctly addressed by Porsche. What Porsche has done is re-spec the bearing several times - single and double row bearings have been used, in several different load ratings. A small number of engineering shops, have managed to redesign the bearing so it receives plenty of engine oil to both lubricate and cool it - this seems to have effected a cure. Such modified engines (that often have other modifications to the cooling system and cylinder bores) are greatly prized and seem to be more-or-less bullet-proof. Bear in mind that the number of failures appears to only be a very small percentage of the total number of engines out there. The old adage that bad news gets discussed ad infinitum on forums, whilst good news never gets a mention, is probably very true where these failures are concerned.
