  I have cvsupped early saturday (about 02:00am Brazil), and while
building world, received a error building gcc:
<some-file>.o: malformed input file (not rel or archive)

  Looking the files, (one of them was
/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc1plus/except.o) I saw it was fragments
of c source code. This was after a crash while making world. Restarted a
clean make world (/var/tmp as 8M MFS, and -j3) and it build with no
errors.

  I got corrupted kernel .o files when compiling a library and the kernel
at the same time. When compiling the kernel alone ld does not complain.

  The two times I thought it was operator error, because restarting did
not repeat the problem.
