I recall other "ICE" Subject lines, but ignored the corresponding posts; the list archives may help you. If you need to be sure what it is, rsync your source code and compiler to a different computer with similar OS and hardware and try there. If it fails in the same place, it's VERY unlikely to be the RAM. If you've been running cvsup -s for a while, trying to run it once without -s might be useful in case some alteration went unnoticed by cvsup (haven't seen that so far, and it's an old recommendation, not sure if it still holds). -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
