Sad to hear that a new swap partition didn't improve the situation. Are
you using gcc 3.3.2? One thought is to examine crash dumps and see the
compiler is always failing in the same area. Not sure why the problem
would be intermittent, though. By the way: are you sure it's actually
segmentation faults that are the cause of failure? Other problems could
include "ulimits" that restrict the time or memory that a process uses.
