That is not the only reason for a signal 11 (or signal 10), just the most
quoted.  These can also be caused by over-optimized binaries.  I often see
signal 11s on all my FreeBSD machines when I optimize binaries (just with
the system compiler and -O -march=pentium4).  However, I NEVER see them
under Linux and all tests show normal for the hardware.  Simply put, I think
this is an overused stock answer to blame the hardware ... no offense to the
last poster intended.
