If I'm compiling a C++ program with gcc (in DJGPP 1.12), and if I'm 
getting a lot of errors, oftentimes I'll see a crash within g++.  When 
the crash occurs (if it does), it usually appears to be a segmentation 
fault.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the crashes; sometimes 
when I get errors it crashes, and sometimes it doesn't.  Everytime 
I've gotten the crashes, though, I've always seen enough of the errors 
to be able to fix the problem and continue.  And when there are no 
errors in the C++ program, I never get a crash (i.e., I've never had 
any problem compiling and running error-free C++ programs).

Since the crashes don't actually interfere with my development, they 
don't bother me overmuch.  But I am curious . . . does this sound 
familiar to anyone?
