OT: Lynx exiting with signal 11

[randy turner]

ok, i have a question about this sig 11
i can compile 2.4 kernels with out getting sig 11
but when i compile 2.6 kernels i get sig 11
i still can compile the kernel
just by running make over again.
how do i make sure that the compiler
uses my swap file??
some times i think that the compiler
is not using my swap file
tns in advance
