Dear all,

I have the problem on my Sun SS20 (64 Mbytes,
1 Mbyte ecache) that a build of the NetBSD-1.2
source distribution fails randomly during the
build mainly with SIG 4 and SIG 11 core dumps
of cc, cpp, make, sed, sh, etc.

The core dumps are worst when building lib/libc,
but somethimes occur at other points in the build.

After a core dump I can restart the make and
it will continue no problem (i.e. the core dump
is random).

Should I change nbuf, or MAXBSIZE, or the kernels
start address? Or something else? Do I need to
patch any files in the kernel?

I am currently running a kernel built from source
with the GENERIC_SCSI3_CONFIG, with no modifications.

Cheers

Rob Goode
