 This really sounds more like a memory error than anything else.
 How does your box respond to a kernel build torture test?
 When I want to reproduce a memory error I generally let the
 following run for 12 hours or so:
     cd /sys/arch/i3867/conf
     config GENERIC
     cd ../compile/GENERIC
     while (1)
 	make clean bsd || break
     end
 
 If gcc dumps core you most likely have memory problems (though it could
 be the cache or CPU too, especially if you overclock).
