Uh, you're getting server-side data corruption, it could definitely be
because of the memory you added.

yop, though I'm still not convinced the memory is bad (the very same
Kingston ECC as the 2*1G in use for about half a year already) :

Can you download and run memtest86 on this system, with the added 2G ECC
insalled? memtest86 doesn't guarantee showing signs of memory problems,
but in most cases it'll start spewing errors almost immediately.

It's running for 15 minutes now without any warning; I'll let it run
while cooking a meal [ with 2*1G mem for each CPU to be clear ].

NB, (CC to kris@ for this) why is memtest86 port marked as i386-only?
It only seems to install floppy.bin and memtest.iso, but alas
(maybe I should leave one box dedicated to freebsd-i386 for things
like this ;) )

Best, Arno
