Whenever I hear sporadic behavior like this, my first instinct is to blame
hardware; but I'm a die-hard *NIX fan so it's not always the case.
Anyways, I would recommend checking through your system for
descrepencies. Usually what I do to check for this is grab the latest
stable release of GCC and compile away (with `make -j [number of CPUs]
bootstrap`). If I get any SegFaults or the like, I dig into the matter
more using the checklist at http://www.BitWizard.nl/sig11/ . Do it late
at night, though, and you won't have as many angry customers in the event
you do manage to crash your system. It's tedious; but it works. =)
