Off topic, but I have almost never been able to induce any errors by compiling the Linux kernel, no matter how faulty the hardware (RAM). Not using -j4 though. I found that compiling the zeroc-ice package (on Debian-based distros), which is huge, very reliably results in random crashes and aborts when relevant hardware is dying. # apt-get source zeroc-ice # cd zeroc-ice-?.?.? # make *blam* Andreas -- Andreas "daff" Ntaflos Vienna, Austria GPG Fingerprint: 6234 2E8E 5C81 C6CB E5EC 7E65 397C E2A8 090C A9B4
