You should be asking gentoo-user about this question ...

Even though you don't get errors, you seem to have a corruption of some kind.

1. you have overheating/clocked hardware which then stresses during cpu 
operations like this.
2. You haven't checked your ext3 partition in a while, boot in single user 
mode and do a thorough fscheck.
3. You might have done too many optimisations on your hdd (using hdparm)
4. You might have a hardware corruption, which could be difficult to tackle. I 
would just in case check the memory (memtest) and maybe the harddrive if you 
can.

Please reply to gentoo-user for further reference.
