This implies some kind of memory corruption problem.  Use of -save-temps 
changes environment size, and number/order of memory allocation calls, 
which can cause a memory corruption problem to disappear or manifest 
differetly.

You could try enabling checking options, in particular garbage 
collection checking, e.g. gcac, to see if you get a more reproducible 
failure.  If you have access to a debugging malloc, try enabling that.

You could try a binary search over the CVS archive to try to narrow the 
problem down to one patch that triggered the problem.
