Since upgrading to 2.3.31 I noticed repeated sig 11's and sig 1's in X:
--- CUT ---
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
xinit: connection to X server lost.
/usr/bin/wmaker warning: got signal 1 (Hangup) - exiting...
X IO Error
--- END ---
Sometimes there also is a report about a broken pipe.
This doesn't happen under previous kernels. One thing I noticed is, that
only _very_ big programs, memory hogs like Netscape, StarOffice 5.1 and X,
exit with sig 11.
I didn't get to testing 2.3.32-3 yet, since it doesn't compile on my pc
with gcc 2.95.2. It stops compiling with a parse error in
arch/i386/mm/init.c. I hope this is the correct fix:

In addition to the parse error it can't find agp.o in drivers/char/agp/:
ld: cannot open drivers/char/agp/agp.o: No such file or directory
That is, when compiling agpgart as a module. When compiling it in,
everything works perfectly. There were some fixes to the Makefile. Might
they be the cause?
Compiling ppp_deflate as a module when running 2.3.31 causes a sig 11.
I hope, I helped a bit.
That's it for now - gotta get some work done :)
