I have had considerable trouble with sig 11 faults while running the
newer kernels and compiling and I think I might have discovered what it
is: CPU overheating. I wanted to wait until I tested things a bit more
before I said this but I am almost convinced now that my problem on the
486 machine is a bad fan and on the other machine it is also a weak fan
and running the rc5 cracking process at a high priority.
I have been running the rc5 client on these machines and that pertty much
keeps the CPU busy all the time and never allows it to halt and cool down.
I think I am going to bail from the rc5 challenge except on machines in a
nice cool computer room environment.
