I was having some wierd crashing problems too, mostly on kernel compiles
(got to the point where I had to compile kernels for my firewall on
another machine). I was averaging 2 day uptimes (still better
than most W95 machines) Suspecting a hardware problem, I swapped my sound
card, video card, IDE driver, serial port driver (It was also crashing
whenever I tried to access the serial ports), until I finally swapped a
486 motherboard for my pentium motherboard and my memory failed the boot
check. I now have two 16 meg simms sitting on my desk and check out my
uptimes

the last time I rebooted was because my sound module had got stuck
wouldn't unload, and the time before that was when I realized I had
installed the parallel cable backwards on the motherboard (note: the red
stripe does not always point to pin 1)

GTK-ICQ is the same way. I've had my machine be unstable for some reason
or another and would crash long compiles (qt, kernel, etc) and more than

once fsck on bootup wouldn't be able to fix it and I'd have to fsck the
drive manually. After these crashes is when the ICQ clones started
crashing after it logs on. What I'm wondering is if one of the fscks
could've deleted or damaged something the ICQ clones use? If so, does
anyone have any idea what? I am considering re-formatting and
re-installing Debian, but I don't really want to seeing as how I've spent
so much time configuring this already. Does anyone have any ideas of
things to try?
What specifically does the kernel (or qt, etc) compile 'crash' with?
