Hi,
	Does anyone know why this happens :  

		cspc8 1 % cd Gcc
		cspc8 2 % ls
		free(20008) above top of memory.memtop = 2c800 membot = 23504.
		Segmentation fault (core dumped)
		cspc8 3 %


	My machine configuration :

		8 MB RAM, 256K cache, AMI BIOS, ...

Also, sometimes it crashes just the login session and occasionally the entire 
machine and then auto-reboots .

Many thanks for any help.
