Thanks guys.
=46rom your comments it seems that it's been touch & go so far. This is an=
old=20
PIII laptop which I have been keeping up to date without any problems until=

now. OOo was never emerged on this machine, I have always used ooo-bin. I=
=20
did emerge chromium though (early versions) and have not had problems with=
=20
gcc.
Perhaps the latest Firefox broke its back. Will try again to emerge it wit=
h -
j1 and see if it makes a difference or if that fails I will add a swap file=
to=20
give it some breathing space.
