I'm beginning to wonder if my mirrored-door G4 has a hardware problem. It crashes reliably if I get the load average above 2 for any length of time.
What does this have to do with fink? The machine runs fine just surfing the web; I notice the problem when simultaneously compiling several packages at a time. An Xemacs build concurrent with a Tcl/Tk build usually will do the trick. Sometimes the machine goes catatonic with no panic, other times I will get (different) kernel panics. Do other fink users see this kind of unstable behavior from OS X 10.2.3 or .4 under CPU load when building packages?
Most of my experience is with FreeBSD, and when I see a machine act like this it almost always is overheating or other having other hardware problems. I would be mildly shocked if OS X was _that_ buggy :)
Not for me. However what you describe could be caused by e.g. defect RAM. When the RAM in my iBook was damaged, it showed by gcc crashing on long compiles, though other stuff "seemed" to run fine.
I would suggest you try the Diagnostics CD that was supplied with your machin and let it perform a hardware check, just to be sure.
