The last time *I* had such problems, it
was due to a bad RAM module. I used to
get random ICEs all over the place. I have
since replaced this module with a more
reliable module.
This time however, it is consistently in
the same place every time, so I think
there is some other problem.
I do have a different set of debug flags
for the different stages of the compiler
bootstrap to be able to debug easily while
trying to save disc space - but this has
worked well in the past, so I wouldn't
blame it.
As I said before, I will try to investigate
this problem as soon as I get some time
and will report the outcome.
