Hmm, something about X shutting down in kdm.log. Can't check now because the system is down. But anyway, I don't think it matters, the problem is that the crash happened only when the package was compiled with distcc and explicit CFLAGS. But now I think the problem was that I enabled support for SSE4, instead of SSE4a. I'll change the CFLAGS and just try again. Wonko
