I let them keep running for a while just in case. Your ability to trigger this in 5 minutes or so is too easy, and therefore I looked again at your original report and I see that you are using some fedora3 based distribution and the gcc-3.4.x that comes with it to build your kernel. I really suspect the compiler or build tools at this point.
I'm not sure where you saw Fedora, this is running Gentoo, but yes the compiler is 3.4.6. Newer versions haven't been marked stable in Gentoo on sparc yet for some reason. I'll give gcc 4.1.2 a try and see if I can still reproduce it. -- Michael Marineau Oregon State University mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
