In response, I have checked as well. All three of my case fans and my
huge-block-o-heatsink CPU fan are operating properly. Just to check, I
compiled Apache, Postgres, and a fair number of GTK apps. Flawlessly.

Hmmm. I'm not here to point fingers, I just want a BSD UNIX to
use. One I can compile, anyway.

This sounds to me like "nope, you have malfunctioning hardware". I'm not
saying that's impossible, but I think it unlikely given that I can
reproduce the problem fairly well, and I've certainly tried to take all
the steps necessary to rule that out.
Are there any committers running -stable on AMD K6 boxes? If so, has
someone been able to buildworld for 4.1.1 successfully? Do I have any
alternatives left other than procuring new hardware or living with the
fact that I will not be able to run FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE?
