So if you have an over heating machine or bad memory, you will get random failures. I was getting random failures while the AC is turned off while bootstrapping GCC all time and now I don't once the company I work for keeps it on during the weekends. Of course this was only on my x86 machine and on my PS3, it would not crash or fail, meaning the PS3 was build to with stand the heat while the x86 machine was not. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31502
