Both of mine are the 10U models with Micron RAM.
Fascinating. > Now, either I am incredibly unlucky or something else is going on.

I get some odd errors after I've left my TrimSlice on for a long time but haven't seen the things you're seeing. I'll do a big compile job and see if I can reproduce this because I think this is the same chip as the AC100. I also have an AC100 at home that I've been meaning to finish a Debian install on but we have a baby due so it turns out there are other priorities in life, according to my wife. (Who knew there was _anything_ more important than Linux?)
