Hi,

It doesn't print out any errors for computer just locks up and freezes. 
 The freezing happens while pretty much in the building process. 
 Sometimes it freezes after 1 hour into building, sometimes when the 
building is just about done etc.  And when the system freezes, I have to 
turn to power off and reboot again.  Never had this problem with 1.5x. 
 Only with 1.6.  It seems like that locking (freezing) only happens when 
I am either compiling KDE or building NetBSD from source.  I don't 
experience the problem when compiling kernel or building packages from 
pkgsrc (except KDE, of course).  I am thinking 1.6 is running out of 
resource or something while compiling very big sources (i.e., those that 
require alot of resources).  Thank you.


Yours sincerely,
