I've tried all kernels now, cvs 2.4.5-pre3, cvs 2.4.5 and precompiled
2.4.5. They all behave identically, make -j 3 is OK but make -j 6
causes 'illegal instruction - core dumped' messages.

2.4.5 is 'better' than 2.2.x, X is more stable, when it crashes it goes
back to a console, but I don't ever recall make -j problems with a 2.2
kernel - but I'll try just in case.

The 2.2 X crashes were interrupt related but traceback never pointed to
anything specific.
