Ok, some more info:

This is:                                                                        
600Mhz Xeon

megaraid RAID and sym53c875 (from which I boot)                                 
gcc-2.96-85 (tried .91 as well)                                                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
So I gather the ac12 and ac15 Linux tree / av merges are the culprit?
