Might be.....might be nothing. Maybe a stray neutrino hit your processor at just the wrong instant. ;-) More likely i my mind is some little corner condition in the software running on your system. I've had the same thing happen many times actually, and actually a few more times since I started playing with your /etc/make.conf -j/-l values which push the system a little harder. I wouldn't personally file a bug or even worry about it much unless it becomes a common occurrence. HTH, Mark
