	I cvsup'd the whole system from the stable-supfile 
	provided in /usr/share/examples/cvsup.  That is what was ment by 
	'the 4 branch' above.  The entire source tree (RELENG_4) like I've 
	done thousands of times.

	It appears to be dying in another place this time.  I think it is 
	probably memory or some other hardware problem.  Anybody had 
	this experience with hardware and building?
