I must be really stupid.  I do builds of the same software package
on SunOs, Solaris, FreeBSD(2.2.x), HPUX, and AIX.  These machines are
simliarly configured with memory, etc, and all of the file space
is NFS mounted.

The builds on all of the machines *except* AIX *always* run to
completion.  The AIX box will sometimes complete and sometimes
not, and sometimes I have to re-start builds two or three times.
(You can't imagine how annoying it is to get messages like:
"my build failed!!! What did you do to the build?" when it is just
stupid AIX shooting innocent processes!)

If this is such a great idea, why is it such a pain in the ass?

Also, why have I never encountered FreeBSD doing this random
process killin thing, nomatter *how* much load I put on it?

Just asking...
