Considering the amount of RAM on new machines, this is bug is likely to be
grave enough to also deserve a fix in stable through proposed-updates.

IMHO, it effectively makes the package entirely useless on a very large set
of machines, _and_ can induce users to replace perfectly good memory
modules.

Please consider asking the release managers about the feasibility of
updating memtest86 in stable, after it has cleared testing for a while.
