Very Computer

Once in a while, while 1.3.73 is booting up, it crashes.  If one
tries again, it boots OK.  Seems intermittent.

Unfortunately, I cannot convey the information that appears on the
console, I am sending this from another site.  I'll see if I can
reproduce this when I get home and will try to provide some details.

I have been getting this oops as well, though not on boot.  I have one
of those systems where I have to turn off my L2 cache while compiling the
kernel or other sizable programs (such as dosemu last night).  I tried to
reproduce the oops, and it would appear at random times (I think) while
compiling dosemu.  I was unable to get to to occur while compiling w/o L2..
I still wasn't able to get dosemu to compile, but I suspect there are
some changes in the kernel since the most recent "release" that cause that.

In any event, my system:
gcc 2.7.2
ldd 1.7.14
ld.so 1.7.14
binutils blah.blah.blah.10 (most recent)
others on request, I have no clue where the bug is.

I get it with telnets, too.  I think I'll try 1.3.74.

Don't waste your time with 1.3.75 either.  It still does it.
One thing I found, though, was that if you limit memory to 16MB
it usually works pretty well.  Kinda weird.
