One of the errata I forgot to mention was Segmentation faults
or other transient failures. The failures are typically
segfaults but could "internal errors" to gcc or mis-reference
header in cpp. In all cases transient - ie not reproducible
on retry.

On the pa8800 machine, a "time make -j2" of the kernel would fail
in ~10 seconds. "time make" would fail anywhere from 30 seconds
to 6 minutes after starting. Re-starting the job would let it run
another chunk in time.

To me, it all suggest the PA8800 32M L2 cache isn't being
flushed when it might need to be. I don't think it's a new
problem. Just an old one that's easier to reproduce with
the bigger cache.
