try to have a compiler run. SEGVs are often the sign of bad RAM.
So you may want to swap at least disks and memory in your box.


Ohh it is that bad? I did swap the offending disk but not the RAM...

So what do you mean by "have a compiler run"? To compile something?

Building the userland binaries is considered quite a decent stress test on a system, including I/O, CPU and memory. If your hardware is bad it is possible that a large build run is able to "detect" that (i.e. crash).

What's SEGV?

It's what's described at the first page of the google search you should have performed:
