Freeze to death, or simply stop functioning? I.E. do they fail to
revive (die) when returned to temperatures that they consider
comfortable.

I wasn't sure, but Wikipedia seems to say they die:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermophile

The most hardy hyperthermophiles thus known live on the
superheated walls of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, requiring
temperatures of at least 90°C for survival.

While some of the other extremophiles also state that the
organism requires the extreme environmental conditions in
order to survive, for most of them the article does not
say. Perhaps at some point I'll dig further.
