Before I condemn a machine, I want to check here first.  One of my servers
just recently started Segfaulting randomly.  Doesn't matter the task, doesn't
matter at which point during the task, it'll segfault eventually.

    Now when I strace things, the general location most things tend to segfault
looks something like this:

munmap(0x401e7000, 4096           = 0
brk(0x813a000)                    = 0x813a000
brk(0x813b000)                    = 0x813b000


    An /sbin/service command occasionally will return:

malloc: dispose_cmd.c:224: assertation botched
*ap++ == 0x55
Stopping myself.../sbin/service: line 65  3486 Aborted
env -i LANG=$LANG "${SERVICEDIR}/${SERVICE}" ${OPTIONS}

    Re-running it a second time will work.

    So, first thing I did was replace all the memory.  Unfortunately, the
problem is still there.  So, what else could be causing these errors?  Or
should I just scrap this machine and build a new one?
