Hi.  I seem to recall a thread (in comp.os.386bsd.questions)  a while ago 
that talked about a problem with large compiles hanging machines.  I'm running 
into this problem currently.  I'm trying to build groff-1.08 using gcc-2.4.5, 
and gmake.  Whenever I do gmake MAKE=gmake, it will start building, and after 
compiling one file or so, it will start to take an insane amount of time to 
compile a file.  I can suspend the process and that's how I knwo its not hung.  
If i let it keep compiling for over say 20 minutes or so, I can't suspend the 
process and the machine is dead.  It won't take any more input, and it won't 
take any logins (though it will respond to a ping).  I don't know what's wrong.
is it gcc?  is it groff? gmake? NetBSD?

Thanx...alex...
