Hi, Sorry I can really add anything specific, but I would try to halve the problem by running a series of tests - does it happen on a different O/S compiling the same code (or vice-versa)? Or with a different gcc? If it is intermittent then it could well be hardware as pointed out below, but it could conceivably be due to other factors on that machine - I'd therefore want to test with the same code and compiler on another machine. Boeing surely must have an alternative host to run this on - they're big enough ;-) Doing such tests should reveal where the problem lies. Sorry, you've probably thought of all that already..
