For several days, the great gurus of linux have been arguing... this may be
a memory problem (bad ram) or this may be a misconfigured memory system (try
disabling your cache) or this may be a bug in gcc or it's friends.

Sig 11 is known to be ambiguous in this way, signal 6 is variously defined
as SIGIOT and SIGABRT, but when I do this:

cat
^Z
ps (look for the pid of cat)
kill -6 (that pid)
fg

it gives me IOT trap/Abort, so I guess this signal is being redefined or
includes more stuff?

So fiddle with the hardware, and see what happens.
