Hmm, I haven't seen this at all, but I've just started buildworld loops on
two machines here, but I normally do at least a couble buildworlds a day
and I havn't notice problems like the above (but plenty of bad commits etc).

However, this kind of problem in most cases spells bad HW to me,
ie subspec RAM, poor powersupply, badly cooled CPU, overclocking etc etc...
