Hi,

Another "me too".

I've noticed that gcc often fails with a signal 11 on my athlon smp
system when I'm about half way through making world. 

It fails consistently when I make world like so:

  bash# nohup make world 2>&1 &

But not when I make world like this:

  bash# make world

There have been a few times when the whole system wedged as well.

I'm using an ata disk and fxp network card, 4.6 release ...

Eddie.
