I got this problem with gcc/g++ running on SCO Unix. After posting
to gcc-bugs list, I was told that someone else had experienced the same problem
and had tracked it down to a fault on the motherboard. My machine is currently
in for repair because of ths. But however good GNU gcc is, it doesn't carry
much weight over the repair shop counter. :-(

My inclination is to recompile GNU gcc with traps on the offending signals.
