I'll have to physically attend the machine to do this, which won't happen until January. Even then, testing will involve crashing my machine a few times, so it won't be the first thing I do.No problem; we can wait. Other tests that would be useful might include (1) running memtest86+ and (2) trying the same workload using a livecd with some other kernel, like the kernel of FreeBSD, to see if this is likely to be a hardware bug or a kernel bug.
Just ran a 10 hour memtest86+, no problems found.
Could you point me in the direction of such a livecd please?
