How frequently?

Both the OP and you, Drew, are using the binary distributions from
alpha.gnu.org. I do not get crashes, frequent or otherwise, unless
there's a specific problem (like the 64-bit changes the other day).

Perhaps something in the build process, compiler version, compilation
options...?  It's hard to pinpoint any connection between both
problems without backtraces, though.
