I get signal 11 and signal 7 when compiling 1.3.8[78] while another compile is going on. This is NOT a hardware memory error. It fails in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c every single time.
The system is an AMD DX4/120 VLB, 24MB, 128MB swap running 1.3.88. System is RH 3.0.3 w/ latest SysVinit, procps, etc...
While running X w/ Netscape running, I have two Xterms open. In one Xterm I run `make clean ; make boot' in the 1.3.87 tree. In the other Xterm I do the same on a 1.3.88 tree.
Half the time both with crash in signal.c w/ signal 11. The half of the time one will crash w/ signal 7, while the other successfully builds to completion.
If this were a hardware error I would expect it to crash randomly in different source files, but it's always signal.c.
Someone else on this list was reporting similar behaviour. Is there a change in the swap behaviour that could account for this?
What can I do to further help solve the problem?
