Hmm. Signal 11 usually means there is something wrong with your memories. One
way to - easily, not foolproof - check memories is to run a make world and if it
does without Signal 11, you're in the clear.
I'd try replacing the memory. Or perhaps even just remove a bank or two,
perhaps the error is in the upper memory - in which case the problem would
vanish if they are not plugged in. Or swap them around. ('Trial and horror'
begins here...)
