I installed FreeBSD-1.1-GAMMA. When I first boot the machine verything seems to be fine
But in few minutes, programs just start dumping core on "Segmentaion Violation" errors.
It not any particular processes. Almost everything. I suspected the shared libararies code.

I switched to FreeBSD-1.0, The system seems to be much more stable. I still get
programs to dump core. This time its always Bus error.

Is this normal ? 

The machine

486SLC with 8MB memory (It says Everex 486)
IDE drive, 2 serial 16450, 1 parallel (All on the motherboard)

Thanks
