I have this happen too, though nowhere near as often as you seem to!

It stops about one in three `make worlds' in their tracks, and always
during a large C compile - typically one in libg++ or groff someplace.
It's cc1 that, furthermore, is always the one croaking!  When run a
second time, it always makes it through.  Go figure!

Also FYI: This did *not* happen until I went from a 90Mhz part to a
133Mhz part in my ASUS P55TP4-XE MB.  Yes, my memory is 60ns.  Using
256K pipeline burst module.
