I'm not used to systems that don't automatically check their memory,
as all my old i386 systems do.  And I hate non-ECC memory, which this
system uses.  But your hunch was right.  memtest86+ revealed a bad
memory DIMM, which makes my entire installation suspect.  New memory
is on order.  I'll reinstall Debian from scratch once the new memory
has been installed and tested.
