The CPU temp on the box stabilizes pretty quickly during all builds at around 
49 C (120 F) which doesn't cause a problem for any other builds.  This has 
crept up a over the past 6 months, indicating that I may need to clean fans and 
heat sink fins - also that it's now summer in Texas and the room environment 
here is kept warmer than in winter.  Heat index outside today is about 103 F.

If the CPU overheats, the usual result is generally a system lock-up, but 
memory can throw errors, too.  The box has like 5 fans in it, so generally 
over-heating isn't a problem.  I'd guess that the "Error 11" message may be the 
result of  memory exhaustion, more similar to the "Signal 11" segfault error 
I've seen for years on boxes with flakey memory.
