I`ve experienced strange gcc sig11 crashes.
prerequisities: gcc-2.95.3-vanille, 2.4.7-vanille

recently i`ve dloaded arachne, a svgalib-based web browser. It has quite a number of various problems, with console-switching screen/terminal corruptions being most significant. so as i said, it crashed alot, and i recovered from these crashes w/o reboot.

then i get libggi-2.0.4b4. (that is all happening w/o reboot between actions)

i`ve started compile process. bah! - sig11.

Although i quite often have those, but this time i had about _100_ of them!!! all these in libggi. I ve got tired of tweakin cflags of different makfiles, because it helps to go thru prblematic .c`s, and i rebooted.

Hm the /most/ mystic of all this is the fact, that after reboot sig11 rate dropped from sig11 per ~4 files to one per ~120 of them. To make clear the situation, ill tell that libggi is VERY broken for me in the scope of gccs sig11.

also i can say, that the sig11/file rate had been constantly increasing with the compilation process.

so it seems to me like kernel problem...

further information upon request.

Sounds like flaky hardware. Something in your system is probably overheating and causing problems. Try swapping the components in your system one at a time, starting with memory.

First check that the fans on the CPU and elsewhere work.

[random sig11s]

Time to read http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ .

The "Penguin Powered" logos people love should really be "Penguin
Empowered". That, I think, is the best thing about Linux, too. We've given
the computer back to the user.
