Hm. I think I'd believe the system in this regard and guess that you have some bad memory and/or processor cache. Do you have problems with other programs mysteriously sig-11'ing, especially under load? Try running X (if you can keep it up) then run a bunch of user processes (like compiling the kernel). If the kernel compile barfs then replace your memory. > By the way, I'm running 2.1.5-R installed from ftp.cdrom.com's CD. > Also, I don't subscribe to questions, so please email me at j_mini@efn.org. > Thanks in advance... You could have just asked John-Mark and he would have forwarded it to me.
