All three of my case fans and my huge-block-o-heatsink CPU fan are operating properly. Just to check, I compiled Apache, Postgres, and a fair number of GTK apps.

I'm not here to point fingers, I just want a BSD UNIX to use. One I can compile, anyway. >> We now have another user who has posted a similar if not identical >> problem while compiling 4.1.1 using an AMD processor.

This sounds to me like "nope, you have malfunctioning hardware". I'm not saying that's impossible, but I think it unlikely given that I can reproduce the problem fairly well, and I've certainly tried to take all the steps necessary to rule that out. Are there any committers running -stable on AMD K6 boxes? If so, has someone been able to buildworld for 4.1.1 successfully? Do I have any alternatives left other than procuring new hardware or living with the fact that I will not be able to run FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE?
