Thank you to Mr Stephen Hilton for sending me this suggestion to test my memory 
chips.  I installed memtest and according to the application I passed.  So I 
went to do a make buildworld again.  It failed again.  I have seen this message 
once before, and similar when I was running 4.3.  I get a signal 10 core dump 
with miniperl. Error message is included in the bottom of this email.  I know I 
got this message at least once before, and I know I got a similar one in perl 
when I was running 4.3, now, My question is.  Could it still be a memory chip 
issue?  Is it something with how perl accesses the memory when building?    

I cd'd to the directory that was causing the error 
wiggum# pwd
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/POSIX
wiggum# ls
Makefile
wiggum# make
