Hi fink dev, Some of you know that I've had intermittent problems on my dualG5 for quite some time now. It has crossed software updates from 10.3 and 10.4, so I'm thinking it is a hardware problem. It has been suggested that it might be corrupt memory chips.
I've filed a bug with Apple and am now requesting help from anyone interested in debugging this. If you are interested, and I can verify your identity, I can create a test account on the machine for you to help respond to Apple's current inquiry (which follows). Thank you for helping! Robert ps. I can tell you now that it does not consistently fail in the exact same spot, but it does inconsistently fail in the exact same spot... usually with malloc errors but sometimes with completely random errors. ===== Current note from Apple ===== Bug ID# 5033238 Engineering has requested the following information in order to further investigate this issue: Does your build fail in the exact same spot every time you build that project? If so, please use the preprocessed source code (-save-temps or -E) and see if you can get it to fail with that. If it does fail, then please provide the command line and that file. If it randomly differs, you could grab a preprocessed source code for something that fails and then build it 100 times and see if it shows any non-determinism, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
