I have seen it many, many times.
Yup, I have had the same experience. Machine ran no problem at all until I started recompiling the kernel, which will use up pretty much all the ram it can grab. Nothing else I had been doing had ever taxed the third stick, and it turned out to be bad RAM. Took it out, everything back to normal. As long running processes do grab ram, could be the case! A good test for that is to have them recompile a kernel ( don't have to use it or anything, just the process is a good ram test ).
