Ok, ok... :-)  I should have known better; this machine had
this problem about a year ago. After swap testing I changed
MB, proc and RAM then stress-tested on linux kernel compiles
for about a week without getting any more SIG11's.  So I was
convinced it wasn't memory this time round...

However, I've swapped the RAM this afternoon, and it
rather looks (after a couple hours of testing) like that's
it.  *sigh*  Sorry to trouble y'all :-(
