Jeff: Internal compiler errors are in most cases a sign of broken hardware (bad ram, overheating box etc.)

Jeff: Please try to reproduce, and see whether it happens at the exact same place.

Comment 4 Jeff Turley 2005-01-14 12:11:11 UTC

Dang, sorry guys.  It was reproducible last night, but after rebooting today the errors are all over the place.  Looks like its that hardware issue.
