I tried to remove the lock file and restart, remove the whole temporary directory and restart, and even lower to -j=1 in the event of a race condition. However this is very repeatable.

If anyone from the Mozilla Gentoo Team sees a problem by all means change the bug status. However, it was resolved by doing a reiserfsck of the file system. It seems there is a bug with the kernel with my hardware setup. However this one would be really hard to track and I am not sure where I could start to get the kernel people interested. It is reiser on a dual opteron setup with LVM2 and MD (RAID 1) both at the same time. For whatever reason /dev/vg/var keeps getting corrupted. I am tempted to go to ext3 and see what happens.
