Comment (by eriktorbjorn):

 Assuming that the pattern to look for in the scripts is

 {{{
     (cls)
     (EgoDead ...)
 }}}

 which I interpret as the game explicitly clearing the text message before
 actually killing the player, rather than relying on the user to dismiss
 it, it's found in these spots in the game:

 - rm009.sc: "You stepped off the rail! You're dead again. Way to go.
 Haven't we taught you anything?"
 - rm10.sc: "You stepped off the rail! You're dead again. Way to go.
 Haven't we taught you anything?"
 - rm10.sc: "Shredded like an Iran-Contra document, your many independent
 parts flutter to the bottom of the hopper. This is of little importance to
 you, what with your being dead and all."
 - rm11.sc: "You stepped off the rail! You're dead again. Way to go.
 Haven't we taught you anything?"
 - rm11.sc: "You step on a part of the track which is extremely narrow and
 greasy. It obviously wasn't designed for human foot travel. It's a quick
 drop to the unforgiving surface below."
 - rm012.sc: "You stepped off the rail! You're dead again. Way to go.
 Haven't we taught you anything?"
 - rm013.sc: "You stepped off the rail! You're dead again. Way to go.
 Haven't we taught you anything?"

 And the two messages in rm11.sc are handled by the same script, it just
 displays two different messages depending on some variable. So maybe it's
 just six cases.
