The last time I saw something like this it turned out to be a memory
issue.
Frustraiting as hell, only effected certain compiles but always repeatble.
It would get to a certain point, halt, and then reboot, no warnings, no
messages. I could do a buildworld just fine but something like compiling
pike caused it to tank - eventually it started doing it with something as
mundane as pine. Memory passed all the tests the various utilities threw
at it.
Swaped out some of the ram and the problem went away.
Problems like this are never fun to find.
