Yes... I've had periods where the compiler drops cores all over the
place, and other periods where things work fine. It's on a P4-1.7Ghz
and has behaved like this since about last August.
The only variable is the kernel - some kernels work and some don't.
I've spent many 10s of hours trying to track it down, and I still
have no idea what causes it - except that some kernels ``just work''
and some don't.
Maybe it depends on the humidity in the room when a kernel is built
or something - and I'm only half joking here !
FWIW ru, /boot/kernel/kernel seems ok now. /boot/kernel.sig/kernel
isn't.
