Yesterday I installed FreeBSD (19990206-SNAP) on an alpha, and having some 
really confusing problems with it. 

rm(1) behave buggy. It is sometimes works, sometimes die with 
'segmentation fault', sometimes die with 'illegal instruction', and 
sometimes fail with 'rm: No such file or directory' (without a file
name). Every other program, including the compiler, seems works correct, 
(I built a couple of ports), so I don't think it is a hardware problem 
like 'bad memory' :-|.

Any idea?

Dima

P.S. Just in case it can be useful, here is dmesg output:
