FWIW, the kernmalloc.ms line appears 92% of the way into the build.
You could have some sort of hardware failure that is dying with the
truncation error instead of giving you a signal error and dying. An HD
that is overheating or something similar. Did you try the buildworld
more than once?
I checked on vgrind and only the Makefile has changed in the last
year. I wonder if you have corrupted sources for it. You could always
cd /usr/src/usr.bin/vgrind and try rebuilding it and see if that
helps. Otherwise, I would remove everything in the vgrind directory,
re-cvsup 4-stable, and try doing a buildworld again.
