My guess is that if that is happening, and to everyone, that it
must be a kernel bug. Any application that can crash the kernel,
means there is a kernel bug/misfeature IMHO.

Not yet.

gcc-2.7.2.3 - I believe Linus officially uses this, or 2.7.2.1
himself. I never use egcs on kernels. The redhat kernel is egcs
compiled though.

Possibly. If you have problems with *ANY* kernel that is
compiled with egcs, recompile the kernel with gcc 2.7.2.3 and see
if the problem goes away first.

Not me. ;o)
Take care Joe!
