Using gcc3 as a benchmark / Kernel Panics

I have no idea, in what way gcc would benefit from a faster malloc. But I'd like to find out. So I downloaded gcc3, configured and compiled it. Problem is, that my old nemesis the NFS crasher, that has haunted me since OpenStep I believe (Rhapsody at the very latest) is still present, albeit very well obscured in Mac OS X 10.2.6. What used to crash me daily, has now happened for the first time in 10 months.

Unfortunately reproducably, so I have to redo everything on my overflowing local disk (500MB left) instead of my network drive (40 GB left).

Here's what the crash looks like, in case you wonder:

and no I don't think it will ever get fixed :)
