Ok. I'll check there.

I think it is a memory issue, though. We slapped a little bit more of
physical RAM into the box and now I make it quite a bit further into the
kernel compile before I get the signal 6. I guess it's freaking out when
it's low on physical memory. I'm not sure why, when there's a bunch of
swap just begging to get used. The last time I tried, it was using 0 swap
again.

I'm going to add even more RAM in a couple of days, so we'll see what
happens...

Thanks for all of the suggestions.
