Sure. Good suggestion. I would do that if I had physical access to the
server ... for now I don't. And I assume the box would behave much more
problematic if the memory was faulty. So far it is "only" related to
this python/glibc-issue. I emerge dozens of other packages without a
problem in the last few hours.

Thanks anyway ...  if I have to run memtest and you were right I will
let you know ;-)
