While compiling the C library, I got the following:
make: *** make[1]: *** wait: Computer bought the farmmake:
../sysdeps/mach/hurd/fork.c:469: __fork: Unexpected error: (ipc/mig)
server died.
wait: Computer bought the farm.. Stop.
Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....make: *** Waiting for unfinished
jobs....
make: *** make[1]: *** wait: Computer bought the farm.wait: Computer bought
the farm Stop.
. Stop.
In another terminal, I was running a loop that would execute vmstat
every 5 seconds. Here is the last report:

As can be seen from the output, there is plenty of ram available (in
fact, in the last hour, there were consistently 295-305 MB free).
In yet another terminal, I attached gdb to exec to see if I could get a
backtrace before a crash:
neal@desdemona:~ (0)$ sudo gdb /hurd/exec 5
GNU gdb 5.0
...
[Switching to thread 5.1]
(gdb) c
Continuing.
warning: Can't wait for pid 5: No child processes
bt
Nothing came up. Am I doing this wrong (e.g. does init completely kill
exec and reboot the machine before gdb gets a chance to see the signal)?
