Hello

I experienced quite a few GCC segfaults yesterday. I was just building
kernels ({current, 2.0.2}/i386) from 2.0.2/i386.

(...)

error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/send-pr.html> for instructions.

It never failed twice in the same file. Here is a list of where it crashed :
- lxtphy.o
- ip_frag.o
- in6_pcb.o
- fil.o
- linux_misc.o
- if_lc_isa.o
- ip_log.o
- cd9660_lookup.o
- ip_frag.o
- tty_pty.o
(etc)

It seems that the more load there is on the building machine, the more it is
likely to crash. I ended up shutting down X and all the other apps... and
it worked.
