I'm having the same problem while compiling with GCC, gcc stops compiling
when it receives a signal 11 ( Segmentation violation ) and in the other
console i see that this appens when the phisical memory ends.
gcc can't use virtual memory ?
The same problem appens in a 486 DX4 100 with 16Mb and in a P133 with 32Mb
I'm running kernel 2.0.27 & 2.0.29

TKS.
