I get regular segfaults and random lockups trying to build CVS GCCs and kernels since I updated RH 7 to glibc-2.2-5. P3, sr440bx mobo (UP), 2.2.18preX kernels; previously rock solid. Might be that the mains voltage here tends to be out of whack, but I doubt it. -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616
