Your address is "vt.edu" -- is it possible for you to try running the
machine for the compile outside your window or in some similar cold
environment to rule out the heat issue?

Er, usually "clean" isn't being run at that stage of the game. In any

does your machine have?

1.6.1 is not --current -- current will become 2.0. 1.6.1 is the next
release from the 1.6 branch.
