This may be related: I also regularly (although not deterministically) have troubles with ATLAS on a Turion x2 notebook. I has 4Gb RAM, but I am running Ubuntu 10.4 in VirtualBox with 1.5Gb and one CPU core accessible to it. It always takes forever to build ATLAS on it and often it crashes. Since I mostly work on other computers anyway, I don't get too concerned and just repeat make or sage -upgrade when it happens, usually it helps ;-) It also seems to me that mistakes happen only if I DON'T use the computer at all (including host OS) while the build goes, but I am not sure.
