  I've had problems like this when running a 1.2C installation but a 1.2D
kernel.  Alas I've had no time to poke at my uVax in the past couple of weeks
(indeed it's been turned off since Tuesday to cool the room down), but I had
almost a month of uptime before that, compiling a lot of the time.  I have
9MB RAM, BTW.
