strange gcc crashes...

["Samium Gromoff" <_deepfire@mail.ru>]

       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, i`ll tell that libggi is VERY
    broken for me in the scope of gcc`s 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.
