If it's happening irregularly, it could be a sign of bad hardware.
I'd suspect bad RAM to start.

We had an issue similar to this (intermittent/random crashes during compile) on our build system (doesn't use predictive compilation, etc.) and resolved it by removing some 3rd party RAM (from a PC vendor) that was added to the system. In the end we switch the system over to use ECC RAM from a vendor that supplies Apple qualified RAM. This was with a PowerMac G5 system.

The only problems we have had since results from network failures
causing CIFS mounts going offline.... unrelated to the system.
