Does "make world" always fail in the same place (i.e., if you run it twice
without updating the code is the failure point always the same)?

If it is then it's not flaky hardware, you've probably just run cvsup in the
middle of someone else's commits (CVS operations on multiple files are, 
sadly, not atomic).

If it's dying in random places then it probably is the hardware.

Anything with an ASUS motherboard.  Sworn by them (instead of at them) for
over six years now.
