 Yes.  I attempted to compile kde4 four times, and four times it hit this error
 in the same place.
 
 Some of the attempts were days apart, and all of the rest of my compiles
 executed OK, so I don't think that it's a CPU overheating problem.  The memory
 is new, and similarly hasn't given problems.
 
 I may have compiled the gcc myself, or it might have come from the ~July
 binary from nyftp.  I don't know, and I've seemed to have covered up all of
 the evidence.  If I did compile the gcc, it's possible that it got corrupted
 somehow, because, I seem to remember, we were having issues with the ide vs
 afm (or something like that) in the BIOS settings.
 
 We've gone on from there (namely not compiling kde, and going with CURRENT),
 and so it's possible, but painful, that I could try it again.  What I'd like
 to do is advertise the PR, and see if anyone else has this problem.
 
 I dunno, CURRENT seems so much more convivial.  But, as I said, I haven't
 tried compiling kde on it.
 
 Yours,
