I doubt it. My system is very stable. The fact that your physical memory
fills up is a general unix/linux feature. linux will use memory for disk
buffers and what not. My system is only 32M with 64M swap i believe, and
I've never had an unexplained hanging apart from taking this box up to
14,000 ft where the air is dry and we zapped the box by accidentally
touching it and not being grounded. But here in the lab it's running
for weeks and weeks until we need to reboot for a hardware modification.
You could try and recompile the kernel 20 times, maybe that will show you
if your memory is bad. Or perhaps a flaky motherboard.
