OK... so I tried three runs of the stress-ng memory test (that has been used successfully on every other system we certify for 16.04) and so far, two of three runs have resulted in the system locking up and a bunch of stack trace data dumped to console.
In both cases, I had to power cycle the system to reboot it into a usable state. All three attempts were 16.04 w/ hwe-edge (4.10) deployed by MAAS.
