What are some people exercising to cause these crashes that others aren't?

I run the patchkit 0.2.1 kernal on a 486-66 UMC chipset, 400 meg IDE drives,
and have ALWAYS been able to compile the kernal and /usr/src completely
without problems.  

_IM_NOT_SAYING_YOU_DID_SOMETHING, I more curious what I'm not doing- don't
want to break anything on my system to obtain these 'features'.

Curious George,
