I noticed the same thing last night. I've got the identical configuration:
freshly-installed 2.2.2d (from tsx-11 last friday), freshly-installed 0.97.5
sources, an 0.97.5 boot image, and a 386/25 with 4Mb RAM and no swap. It had
been sitting on console.c for a couple hours when I finally went to bed.
This morning it was still in the same place and the system appeared to be
hung. My login session on the second virtual console was hung. I was unable
to get any keyboard echo on any of the consoles. The make was non-interruptible.
I had to reset the machine. :-(
I'm going to add a 4Mb swap file and try the make again tonight. Is this
kind of hang the expected behavior when the system runs out of memory?
