Yikes! Well if it was something like heat you would be getting errors from all around, not just in the same place (I assume it is also in presets.c). Is it not possible that the segfaults belong only to that piece of code and that compiler? In this case it can just be a gcc bug. I guess I would start #if 0 -ing out chunks of presets.c (if it is indeed dying in the same place) and see what I need to make a segfault, maybe this can give a clue. -Andy
It is so random. Last night Firefox just vanished while running. I started it from command line and then it did not crash at all. I opened my gallery website which contains a lot of thumbnails (just to increase memory usage of firefox) and it handled it well. No crash. There was one kernel panic on friday evening (my wife used the reset button to reboot) so I don't know what the error message was. Could hard disk be a problem? As I am writing this mail, I have started a SMART self test (long) on the hda. Regards Vijay
