The fact that you get a Signal 11 one time and then it works without
fail the next time means you more than likely have a hardware problem.
It could be heat-related, or you could just have flaky hardware.

I've been running FreeBSD 4.10-BETA on my Dual 1.8GHz Opteron with 2GB
ECC RAM without the slightest problem.  I've even stress-tested it by
putting both /usr/src and /usr/obj on memory filesystems and then
doing a continuous loop of -j4 buildworlds.  That went on for over 24
hours with no problems.  11 minutes per buildworld is pretty neat,
too. :-)
