Hey there,

yep, that definitely sounds like some more serious issue.

I'd do the following
* Check that you're getting out of memory during compilation. (The OOM-Killer 
might give you segfaults)
* Upgrade/Downgrade your compiler (afair there were some regressions in a 
particular gcc version)
* Check your installed memory

Greets, and thanks for the bucks ;)
