Not having looked at the Tux code, does the 11 reflect the signal caught?
If so, you may have bad memory. There's a FAQ about this on the net somewhere. 
The best memory checker I've used is to make the Linux kernel over and over 
in a loop (make clean dep bzImage modules) and see if gcc dies with signal 
11. You may need to increase make -j3 or higher depending on how much RAM you 
have.

If you get a message like, "gcc died with signal 11" you very likely have a 
bad DIMM. I haven't found a better way to check memory. None of the memory 
checker utilities seem to find the bad DIMMs, but gcc does. ymmv.

Cheers.
