I already tried compiling without x. The machine just locks, no kernel
panic or segfault. Shit, please don´t let it be a hardware issue :-( 
I would expect the machine to crash every now and then, but anything is
running quite fine. Sounds strange.

Any ideas how to find out what exactly could cause this?
