You would also find "oops" messages in the system log.

pgcc is a fairly experimental compiler. We know in places it doesnt build the kernel correctly. Not always because of the compiler but sometimes because the kernel doesnt expect that kind of optimisation.

I would like to know if the standard 2.2.12/13 or 14pre (either will do here) kernels built with gcc/egcs and not pgcc also show the problem. Something very odd is going on if your rollbacks fail. I'd like to know what even if Oracle dont.
