- I had these problems, too. But when I replaced some of the RAM they went
- away. I suspect hardware, specifically RAM parity failure, rather than
- software, especially when many programs cause the problem. I have had no
- trouble with this, even compiling using X and playing games while the
- compiler churned, since the RAM was replaced.
-
- This gcc really hammers the RAM, and even problems that don't show up under
- testing programs (like mine didn't) still cause these problems. I hope your
- machine is still under warrantee.
