Emerge segfaults during calculating dependencies since my last portage sync.

The last few times emerge seems to be running slower than usual.
My computer eventually froze and there were quite a few: Apr 17 10:42:35 goodt60 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6c65746e in messages. Since restarting emerge seems to work. I'll change the status to invalid in 24 hours unless anyone sees any reason not to.
not a portage issue; whether you want to pursue a kernel/hardware bug is up to you ;)
