Hmm... The fact is I am using a Cx486DX2/66 (yup, 486 socket, 8K cache), and
that random error only cropped up when building that big GENRIC kernel, and 
only once in the build, but repeatable. Previously and after I never had 
problems, even when doing a build world on my current source tree... strange.
