In the 2.1.5-RELEASE the kernel fails to compile when I have 64MB of RAM in
the machine. I placed 16MB of RAM in the machine and everything compiled
just fine. Possible bug?? Anyone else have the same experience?

System specs:

	P166 with 256k pipeline burst
	64MB EDO RAM
	1.2 GB IDE Seagate drive (used for system disk)
	AHA2940W SCSI Controller
	4.2 GB SCSI Seagate HDD

We just purchased two machines that are identical. The same error occurs on
both. The error is not the same all the time. Here is a list of some:

-----

Aug 6 08:19:23 python /kernel: pid 1443 (as), uid 0: exited on signal 11
cc: Internal compiler error: program as got fatal signal 11

cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 6

Of course the last error is a complete system failure.

Any information on this problem would be appreciated. Please send e-mail.
