as a stability test, my favorite is:

cd /usr/src
while 1
time make -k clean >& /dev/null
time make -k >& /dev/null
end


under the 0.2.1 patchkit, that'll run at least 3 or 4 times
straight thru (killed it myself, after that; each "make -k"
takes abour 1 hour 50 min on my machine)...

i used to not be able to get thru compiling libc w/o
it crashing horribly...


the patchkit helps a lot... 8-)
