Haha, not quite.
From what I can tell, it's an undocumented feature that's already built into those hacks: if you put a file called 'emergency.sh' in the correct directory, it will run that script at boot time, instead of the normal hack startup script. It's intended for emergencies (obviously), and it would be very easy to seriously break stuff if the script is buggy.
My point was that, in the absence of a normal, working jailbreak, this would be one way to regain root access. It's not a process I'd recommend if you can avoid it, and it's no substitute for a true 3.1 jailbreak.
