We used to buy whiteboxed machines, and as a test we would build world and compile perl. One time world was fine, perl failed, and would always seem to fail in the same spot. The company replaced every part and narrowed it down to the power supply. Once they changed that out, perl compiled fine. The next box had the same problems, perl stopped compiling in the same place, and found out they re-used the power supply. Changed it out, perl compiled. We convinced them to throw away the power supply (I'm sure someone else ended up with it). May be nothing of the sort, but just wanted to relay a weird experience we ran into.
