Same syndrome for me.  64M K6-2.  Lots o swap.

I initially did a cross-install.  On the latest attempt, I did a tarball
install instead.  The system seems stabler now.  Can't exactly put my
finger on what might have done it, though.

Mind you, I haven't used the Hurd system much lately, so I can't say for
sure that the problem has completely gone away.  Perhaps just reduced to
acceptable levels.
