[FoRK] Sudden increase in Windows flakiness??

[Stephen D. Williams]

I've run into lots of bad ram lately.
Did you do the mem86 ram test on that box?  Some distributions have it 
as an option on boot.  Linux exercises memory in a more intense way than 
Windows, so it is possible to get the behavior you see that way.
