 Memory errors can also cause this kind of behavior but if you
 are not seeing SEGV's while compiling that's probably not what
 is going on.  The fact that 2.6 doesn't exhibit the problem also
 makes me less suspicious of a hardware problem.  Still, it wouldn't
 hurt to try a kernel compile torture test on the 2.6 kernel (since that
 seems to work for you).
 
 I do things like:
     while (1)
 	make clean bsd || break
     end
 
 in the kernel compile dir for long periods of time ;-)
