Public bug reported:
I have two computers, one with two sets of memory sticks.
On both computers the memtest86+ version 4.20 when run from the ubuntu 12.10
install CD fails all memory above 129MB on test 7. Reported read back data make
it appear that test 7 did not overwrite data from previous test.
I downloaded memtest86+ version 4.2 as an ISO from memtest.org This version
runs through all tests without errors.
I also downloaded memtest86+ 5.00b1. This version also passes all memory on
both computers.
This bug cost me $50 when I bought new memory thinking the memory on one
of my systems was bad.
