Memory errors?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have a machine here (hmm, this is OT since it's not actually a
laptop, but...my poor excuse is that access to it is almost
exclusively by ssh from my laptop. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! :-)
Anyway, I suspect that it has some bad RAM. Programs just sporadically
crash on it (with a segfault, most often). Shell scripts, emacs,
vncviewer, a browser, you name it, they all run sometimes and crash
sometimes. Sometimes they crash right away, sometimes they run for a
while.
Bleh. Unreliable computers are really bad news.
- - Are there other possibilities?
- - Are there any Linux tools that I can use to test the integrity of
physical RAM?
Be seeing you,
norm
