Ha. Well, there aren't many people could say that with any effect.
And you're not the first to point the finger at hardware, so I finally
broke down and ran memtest overnight. It did indeed find some problems
in one area with the block move test.
So I'll just enjoy my blackbird breakfast--thank you very much--and
think about how to deal with the memory glitch.
Any ideas what yum or db4 might be doing to trip over this? My system is
stable otherwise, even with a high memory load. Package management has
been completely dependable with this hardware until recently.
