[Bug c++/31502] New: gcc/g++ randomly seg faults, sometimes freezes the entire machine

[ye dot patrick at gmail dot com]

Machine info:
  CPU: AMD 4200+ (64 bit)
  RAM: 3G DDR

OS info:
  Type: Linux
  Distro: Ubuntu Edgy 6.10
  Kernel: 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:28:26 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linu
  Bit: 32 bit OS

Overview of the problem: gcc and g++ would frequently and randomly seg faults,
and this would sometimes freeze the machine and force the "reset" button to be
pressed.

Code on which these errors have occurred: mplayer 1.0pre8, Blender.

Example of compilation command that produces the error:

gcc -c -O3 -g  -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wall -Wno-switch
-DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I..
-I/home/jingy/install/blender/cvs_new/blender/extern/ffmpeg/libavutil
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE  -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H
-DMOZ_NOT_NET snow.c -o
/home/jingy/install/blender/cvs_new/blender/obj/linux-glibc2.4-i386/extern/ffmpeg/libavcodec/snow.o


Output of the compiler:

The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

Sometimes these errors would be immediately followed by a kernel warning
stating  some memory protection has failed. Sometimes these errors would be so
severe that no other processes can be run.

Please feel free to contact me for further information.

Thanks a lot.
