I booted into memtest after I got Andreas' mail and let it run for 7
hours. No reports of anything amiss.

This thing is really bugging me. I'm guessing I'm getting about two
hours between crashes when I'm reading news or doing anything else
heavy duty. I keep an emacs with an inferior lisp process and nothing
else running, and that stays alive for several days, averaging about
100 to 1000 new lines a day in the *inferior-lisp* buffer. We can
definitely say that wallclock time is not the main triggering factor.
I also have mozilla staying alive constantly, So I'd say all my RAM is
exersized by that without any ill effects.

Ah, OK.
