Comment(by gwright):
If you attach the crash reporter log to the ticket, it might be easier to
tell what this bug really is. Building HEAD or 6.12.3 on Snow Leopard
I've seen abort traps caused by a "suicide jump", in which there is an
attempted transfer of control to an address on page zero (the 4 Kbyte
block at the bottom of memory). Look in the crash report if the
instruction pointer is somewhere on page zero when the crash occurred.
I saw something like this in my first attempts to build HEAD on Snow
Leopard some months ago. But I was not able to track it down.
