I have an SS1 (with 1.4.1) as my home machine and your story sounds
familiar.

Random programs dies in completely innocuous circumstances.  Most
often it's either Xsun or WindowMaker.  CC sometimes crashes on BUS or
SEGV while compiling big files.  Fortunately it doesn't happen often
but is still very annoying.

I first thought I'm bumping into small stack ulimit (512K only) that I
have discovered while bootstrapping clisp.  But now I have it bumped
to 8M and this makes no difference. (And I have hard time believing
that Xsun needs more that 512K of stack in the first place).

What's most frustrating is that this glitch have killed a couple of
*very* promising Valkyries.  One of them was my best one ever. :-(

SY, Uwe
