Thus spake Doug Ledford:
* I'll stand by my claim that my test will trounce a gcc compile test any day
* of the week for finding bad RAM %^) ... experience. Find a machine that
* fails my test on one out of every four passes, and I'll show you a machine
* that will compile kernels all day long without a hiccup (x86 arch anyway).

Doug:

It is amazing! You are right, I had run your tests on my four
dual PPro boxen, and three of them did just fine while one had console
output. No wonder I thought disk copies were corrupting data! And it
(a SuperMicro P6DNE) question compiled kernel about seventy times in a
test with no problems whatsoever. I am getting some parity EDO SIMMs
first out from Net Express-- the machine that had the problem was the
only of 4 that did not have ECC on (two were SuperMicro P6DOF's which
are Orion and parity FPM only, one was Intel Providence with EDO DIMMs
ECC and buffered). [The 4 machines total 1Gig of RAM ....]

Thanks, B.Y.

PS also testing your 5.1.0-p13~
