I have only one DIMM (128MB), but I saw similar behavior on the
i386 (-current).  If I ran the distributed.net rc5des client and
tried to build a kernel, cc1 would (like clockwork) drop core on
(I think) cd9660_vnops.c.  I tried changing the BIOS settings for
memory speed, etc., around to no avail.  If I stopped the client,
the kernel compile proceeded.  I think I mentioned this in mail at
some point, but I never qualified it enough to make it into a bug
report that I thought might get looked at.
