I routinely use GCC to try to break machines because it is so CPU/Memory intensive. Because of the massive amount of work gcc does, it will push out bugs/problems in your hardware. I would recommend you look into it further. Overheating? Bad memory? Byggy chipset? Cheap mobo? Even if the system *seems* stable, I wouldn't trust it. You may have a VERY subtle hardware problem if the system seems stable otherwise. A normal program might only crash 1/1000 times with MCE where GCC will do it 1/10. Check out your hardware then reply back if that doesn't fix it. I tried to look up the error code, but man those proccessor spec manuals will run circles around your head sometimes. The best I could come up with is that your processor should never return MCE ;) MCE indicates some pretty heavy trouble with data maniupulation. ------------------------- Eric Bambach Eric at cisu dot net ------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
