- Lots of time this is coused by bad memory chip. If you
- have a chance to swap some of your SIMMS with new ones,
- try it. Otherwise takeout some SIMMS, and swap them with
- each other. Dont forget to have enough swap space than.
- On the other hand I had this problem once, it corrupted
- my whole gcc files. I reistalled, and it went away.
