One of my machines is somewhat prone to "having a bad day", when it

Now that I've put on my pedant's hat, what I meant was that I very
occasionally get a normally-good program which segfaults. For other
programs such as firefox, occasional segfaults are par for the
course.
That really points to HW. I've been building a new system for a few days
now and noticing a lot of details. I have installed lm_sensors and display
info via a program not in BLFS called gkrellm.
Regarding lm_sensors (and according to the Arch Linux forums
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193048) there appears to be
a remote possibility that an lm_sensors scan can mess up the Vcom
calibration on a monitor screen. Should there be a health warning on
the BLFS page, and the method shown to rectify it should it occur?
BTW gkrelim seems like an interesting tool set. I wasn't aware of it.
Could it be added to the BLFS book?
It's possible, but users should be able to do it themselves by the time
they need it.
