- I've seen the same problem... on my 486/40 w/16M ram, I get these
- failures intermittently. On the various 386sx laptops I've rented (4M
- and 8M of ram, 20Mhz or less) I've never seen the problem. I've tried
- adding wait states, but that hasn't helped... and I haven't tried 99.1
- on the 486 yet (still running 98.6 or so.) Interestingly enough, I've
- mostly seen the compiler fail when running it inside of emacs, but I
- think I've seen it fail once or twice run from a shell, so it could be
- a memory usage related problem.
