Semi-random rashes that report a signal 11, from my experience, are often
due to hardware problems. I usually try to compile a kernel and see if it
fails at the same place or not. I'd start by checking the CPU's fan,
downclock it if it's overclocked then if this doesn't do any good, try with
some other RAM...

Hope this helps,
Matthias
