That is a very valid point. 

Bad RAM could very well be the cause of the problems described. And on
a side note, given that the memory allocation in OpenBSD is different than
what some other systems do, it is not unlikely that other systems never
or only rarely would hit the failing memory location while OpenBSD would,
more often.
