He he, that might be true, but as I said, I've seen segfaults on APT (also go
away usually if I retry the same command), and as we speak I have a pretty
persistent case with Emacs under X. It segfaults all the time as I try to run
it. Also seen it just minutes ago happen to bzip2, but that was not a
segfault, just a false impression that the archive I was trying to open was
corrupted (also went away the second time i tried to open the "corrupted"
archive).
There is something going on for sure, and it starts to reminds me a lot of the
mess I made in Gentoo when i decided to move to gcc4.1, simultaneously
adopted some aggressive cflags and recompiled everything (kaboom).
