*hmm* if this is a linux system, I'd bet it is a memory
overcommitment/trashing problem. Linux just shot ghc, because there is too
less memory. The original poster said something about 32Megs... IMHO you'll
need 128M++, otherwise the machine gets into serious swapping if you try to
compile 4.04 with 4.04, for example... :-) for older versions, it's
_slightly_ better.

Sounds great... did you follow the 'zombie problem' mails of Kirstin and me,
when telling make to do more than one job at a time? The subject was
"smp and make"...
