I hungrily await said patch, as I believe this is a problem on RM9000

This was more or less exactly what I was seeing on an O2 RM7000 setup until the fix for errata #28 was put in (which should already be enabled for RM9000 systems).

Check include/asm-mips/war.h and make sure your machine is included in the list that define ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. If not, add it and test; and fire off a patch. Should fix that issue (especially if bash is the only userland process dying while complex g++ compiles behave fine)
