I too was a victim of GLOD, and finally sent the computer in to Apple, who replaced the motherboard (I think it cost $400). It returned, worked like a charm, *but* once the warrantee for the work expired (perhaps 6 months? It was a while ago and my memory's foggy) GLOD returned, growing ever worse until the computer became impossible. Not a happy story I'm afraid... and perhaps not typical, but I'd advise against sending it in to Apple. Clearly their repair does not really solve the problem.
