[http://www.inquisitor.ru/ Inquisitor]) to verify the general stability of
your hardware. installoptionalpackage is pretty CPU intensive - that in
combination with e.g. a CPU fan starting to cave in could possibly be the
cause.
In principle it is possible that a kernel bug can cause such a behavior
(random application crashes) -- most likely in the VM subsystem -- but
there haven't been any significant changes for quite a while, and this is
the only report of such problems I know of. So to me this also sounds very
much like a hardware issue, particularly since you mention very high CPU
temperatures. The OS is not responsible for keeping the CPU temperature in
some range (I haven't read anything in this regard in the IA-32
specification yet at least), even if other OSs try to do that (and we
should eventually implement that in Haiku, too).
Torturing the CPUs a bit, like luroh suggests, is certainly not a bad
idea. If you have a Unixish system, a `while true; do true; done` per
hardware thread should do the trick. If nothing else critical CPU
temperatures should at least be logged somewhere (syslog/system messages).
