If you have console access, it would be good to get a processor dump by break + p. anyway we were able to reproduce the problem by doing some fancy building on Niagara and that already isolate the problems to a more generic bit of the code rather than CPU specific. I personally have no say on how buildds should be managed.. i guess it's up to you guys if you want to kick it back. If you do so just make sure you can grab CPU register dumps from console.
