Hi,

as far as I can tell it is really reather easy to hide the bug.

All these options did hide the bug for some time:

- Use -g to compile the segfaulting binarys
- Remove -g to compile the segfaulting binarys
- Use a kernel compiler on another machine
- New hardware

They just disappeared after such an action, but showed
up again later after some buildworlds.

Martin
