I've been trying to compile smail3 for my system running ISC 2.2.
I get through building the dependencies, but about 10 minutes into
building the binaries, the kernel panics.  It never happens at exactly
the same place--just generally during heavy disk I/O.  I also get some
random errors in component files, that don't appear to exist when I
examine them.
The processor is a 25 MHz 386 w/64k cache, 8 MB RAM, the controller is
an Adaptec 1542B with a Maxtor 207 MB drive.
I have replaced the controller and the drive, with no change.  I've
tried adding BIOS wait states to the Adaptec, with no effect.

Is anyone else having this problem?  Thanks.
