5.3-RELEASE crashes during make buildworld (and other problems)

[Mark Kirkwood]

I am wondering if cpu overheating could be a factor. In 4.x you are 
building with gcc 2.95,  whereas 5.3 uses 3.4 - the 3.x compiler takes 
longer and works harder, which may be generating more heat (i.e too much 
heat).

You can test this by installing the cpuburn port and running it for 
10-20 minutes.

regards

Mark
