Vasudevan, definitely something funny with your RAM (or POSSIBLY a bug
with memtest). Do you notice anything funny while running the system? In
general after getting errors like that I would reseat my memory sticks
and see if they go away :-) Running memtest of course is also a good idea.

Do these indicate a h/w defect? Before installing raring beta2,
memtest reported lot of errors and I killed it after the count went
past a million
After installing raring iso, memtest ran over night with out errors
(shows 'pass'). Does installing new version of iso upgrade the memtest
version also?
