I did a grep for core in all the output logs, and preserved 2 days worth of
tinderbox QA on kentuckyderby /export/nss/dewey

Assigned the bug to Ian.

Could you get some stack traces from the core files?

What is the output of "gcc -v" on this machine?  I
am wondering if this is a duplicate of bug 116327.

thanks Wan-Teh, it is. 2.96-98

[Wan-Teh Chang]

I suggest that you install this Red Hat GCC 2.96-RH
for Red Hat Linux 7.2:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-055.html
The bug that affected us is 57760 - gcc-generated
code accesses stack below sp.

You may also want to install the latest glibc update
because the original glibc was compiled with the buggy
gcc.  See my comments in
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116327#c7

[Wan-Teh Chang]

I found that the GCC 2.96-RH update also contains
the fix for the glibc bug 55568 - gcc-2.96-98
compiles bad code into glibc-2.2.4-13.
