I have some MD5s of many other large files on the system. I've not had any 
other problems that I can recall. Compared to the disk space used by the 
kernel compliation, I'd expect more errors if that was the case. That's why I 
suspect the CPU or something else related to computation.

It's possible! I will test it more - I've now recompiled 2.6.1 on my Wife's PC 
(Athlon XP 2500+, kernel build took 15 mins - smokin'!) (Compared to the 1.5 
hours my work PC took. ^_^) so I am now running a very different kernel. I'll 
try recompiling on my box, under 2.6.1, and see if it still has problems...

I actually am (now), since I reshuffled partitions (and wasn't THAT a 
nightmare) to get a bigger swap, to play with suspend to disk (which I got 
suspending! But on reboot it enters Infinite Reboot mode. ;_;)

I don't know if that'd be much of an issue tho. It has 768Mb RAM, so doesn't 
swap in most cases... I wasn't doing any Gimp work in the background at the 
time. ^_^
