Thanks all those at SGI and elsewhere for filling me in on the
problem.  Due to the teeny default root partition, the /tmp filled up
too quickly when compiling large files.  The kernal swap caused the
problem because we saved the old kernal in / !

One interesting comment I heard was that perhaps the root
partition default size needs to be upped by the distribution folks at
SGI.  For whatever its worth.


Thanks again!
