Subject: reboots under load in 2.4.3

Hi!

When I booted freshly compiled linux-2.4.3 on my SMP machine, during some
compilling (make -j2 in gtk+ sources) the machine reboots. There were some
other processes running: trplayer (command line realaudio player), some
bashes and midnight-commanders. XFree86 wasn't running. Reboots were
spontaneous - no messages in logs nor on console. I've tried booting once
again and tried compilling gtk+. After cca 10 seconds the machine rebooted.

I've tried booting with and without 'nmi_watchdog' option reboots were
still happening. Also tried 'noapic' option and the system seems to be solid
(3days now).

Are there any known problems with APIC in recent kernels?

Thanks,
Vita Samel
