:Heh. I tried your suggestion and I used up 2.2 Gigs of disk space
:and then got a (legitimate) 'disk full' error. ktrace.out had
:grown to 2GB.

:The bmake of firefox usually runs for only five minutes or so
:before crapping out with 'write error' -- so my gut tells me
:that using ktrace probably prevented some race condition from
:causing the 'write error'. But of course I'm only guessing.
Welll.. were you writing the ktrace.out file to the same partition
that bmake puts its objects on ?
If there is really a bad sector on the disk, the existance of the ktrace
file would have definitely changed the block allocations.
