The last one is what I was expecting to get, since I downloaded it on a
server that doesn't seem to have any similar problems. It also runs
2.2.10, but it doesn't crash.
I've been having crashes on former box, so I decided to downgrade to 2.2.5
with the DoS patch. The thing that tipped me off to the problems was my
"make dep" crashed with the Makefile in fs/minix being strangely
corrupted. Just some characters out of order, AFAICT. But then I
re-untarred the tarball, and it gave me an error saying the tarball was in
an invalid format. And somewhere in there the tarball had actually
changed on me. So I downloaded a new copy of the tarball, which had a
different chacksum. So I downloaded a new one, which also had a different
checksum, even though I pulled it down from the same mirror site.
If anyone wants a copy of the tarballs, I can try and retrieve them -- no
guarantee that they'll be in their current state though. Seeing as one of
them mutated in between two untars, they seem pretty unstable.
