Re: Strange system behavior

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

Nothing ever got resolved.  On my machines the symptoms come and go, 
quite randomly.  There will be times when a 'build.sh release' will 
consistently fail several times in a row at the same place with same 
failure mode, and then it will just happily succeed for days on end!

BTW, my systems fail with varying symptoms.  Most frequently is a 
SIGSEGV, but SIGBUS  is also common.  Failures usually occur in either 
nbmandoc or gcc.
