Snowball build has become very unstable.
there's a small but non-zero chance that it's caused by the optimized string functions in bionic - they somewhat break the rarely used bzero() function (I have a fix, will commit as soon as I get home).
If Snowball's binary blobs use bzero() heavily, that could cause some weird stuff.
I don't think it's very likely the cause (the errors would likely be different, e.g. random garbage on a screen that's supposed to be cleared, random noise on sound, ...), but if you can't find anything else wrong, you may want to either wait for the fix or revert the string functions for testing.
