HELP: Fatal Signal 11



Hi all: I'm fairly new to linux. Lately I've been getting a lot of fatal 
signal 11's. 

It seems to occur when my system has been up for a few days under light 
load or up a day under a heavier load, running some job in the background 
for about 24 hours. Then I get, compiling using g77 (I had been running 
memtest in the background for about 18 hours):

gcc: Internal compiler error: program f771 got fatal signal 11
I also get this with fort77. (I know the fortran code is OK.)  Trying this 
several 
more times usually results in a complete lock-up and a nasty reboot.

Some of the error messages I've gotten trying to compile code are
1 general protection: 0000
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010:[<0012398b>]
EFLAGS: 00010213
eax:64746769 ebx:0180cb28 ecx:0180cb28 edx:73006569

process f771(pid:31229, process nr, 21 ,stackpage=01ff9000) ????
2. hdb2: bad access: block=925712, count=1283457032... more of the same  
3. Fatal Signal 11,7

I've tried memtest and memtest-86, no errors found.
If I reboot I can use g77 as much as I want with no errors, but after 
several days I begin to see Fatal Signal 11 or if I have a cpu intensive 
job in the backgound for about 24 hours lots of trouble. 
Below is my system and some stuff from /proc

ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. 
Is this a memory leak?
How do I isolate the hardware thats causing the problem?
Thanks
John
