I've found that whilst running a system that was fully built at
ctm-src-cur delta 3156 and trying to make world at delta 3175
(after building a kernel and booting it) I've had many seg faults
and have just not been able to make world.

I am running a standard Intel Pentium 150 overclocked to 166
(it has been overclocked like this for a long time with no problems
so that is not relevant).

I am actually running a kernel now which was built from sources at
ctm-src-cur delta 3139 (even though the system is built at delta 3156)
because I find that kernels at delta 3152, 3156 and 3175 are prone to
total system freezes requiring a press of the reset switch not to
mention the kernel at 3175 seg faulting all the time under load
(read make world with -O -pipe and async,noatime mounts and me using
X on the system running Communicator etc).

All of this is not a problem with the kernel of 3139 and indeed I was
able to make world on systems built at 3139, 3152 and 3156.

I think those make worlds were overnight and that the lockups I've
had always happen when I'm actually using the system doing some X
intensive thing such as xdm just starting up.

I run XFree86 3.3.1 by the way with the SVGA driver for my ET6000
in 16 bit mode. (I run the W32 driver in 8 bit mode for faster
acceleration - for xmame :) ).

Attached are my kernel config file and a dmesg output.

P.S.  Does anyone know why the /etc/rc.conf variable
linux_enable="YES" seems to be ignored so that I have to "modload
/lkm/linux_mod.o" in my /etc/rc.local ??   Is there something missing
from recent /etc/rc (by recent I mean over the last several months).

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
 E. P. Tryon   from "Nature" Vol.246 Dec.14, 1973
