I guess I wasn't clear enough. My computer (this newer one anyway) was
segfaulting/oopsing/panicking and hanging up on its own especially during
time of much disk activity, e.g. when I try to open Netscape while opening a
large mailbox in mutt while compiling lilypond1.3. Fortunately, my
brother's computer didn't show any of these problem and compiled it quickly
without errors. The compiled lilypond_1.3.119 binary seems fine, otherwise
the documentation wouldn't have been built, and there wouldn't have been a
*.deb produced. :-)
I am suspecting either the kernel doesn't jive well with this CPU or
motherboard, or (I hope not) faulty RAM or hard drive... not sure what is
wrong...
Cheers,
Anthony
