so far, all non-repeatable error reports like this that I know of have turned out to be hardware problems, usually due to overclocking/ overheating or bad memory. I think someone has posted links memory testing programs before. you could try to see of something other than flac doesn't work, e.g. "while true ; do cat bigfile | bzip2 -9 | bzip2 -t ; done" (/dev/random doesn't seem to spit out values very fast). or some other thing that will use a lot of memory and be sensitive to errors.
