Kenneth,
What do you get if you build gcc44 with
make -j 8? Does that hang as well? Remember
that when you do -j 16 on a dual quad Xeon
that the extra 8 'processors' are done via
hyperthreading instead of actual cores. Building
gcc is pretty stressful on the system and if
Apple or Intel has any bugs in the hyperthreading
support, I wouldn't be surprised to see those
tickled by a gcc build although I must admit that
the fact that you had bad ram makes me wonder if
there still isn't some more bad ram left in the
machine.
If you have AppleCare, I would download the
free TechTool Deluxe and run their ram tests.
Alternatively you might be able to boot the x86_64
Fedora 11 installation DVD and run memtest off
of it.
