Hey folks.

I've been experiencing some rather unusual difficulties with gcc.
Every now and then, the compiler just freezes while doing its stuff. 
Since I work under DOS, this forces me to reboot my machine, and often I
find my file system to have be corrupted on recovery(recently I just
lost 19megs of data scattered here and there on my hard drive, and some
files have just become garbage).  

What I normally do then, is just recompile the files, and most of time
it will work the second time around.  I don't think it has anything to
do with my code, because I encountered some similar problems when
I compiled the allegro library.

Any thoughts on to solve this problem?


Thanks,
Raja
