Dear Mahlon, Can anyone tell me what this means - and even better, a fix? It's my understanding that pmap concerns shared memory, is it possible I have a bad stick of ram floating around? Bad memory sticks are easy to find. Just rip out half the RAM and let the box run for a few days,

A friend of mine swears by this memory testing utility: http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/ Apparently it tries a bunch of diffrent test patters that are likely to find memory problems that a simple test wouldn't find. It is cool because you just just write the image to a 1.44mb
