I seem to remember something similar from a few months ago that
affected machines with lots of RAM because of something to do
with high order address bits.  I thought it got fixed, but I can't
really recall.

Was it an Athlon problem, or a gcc problem, or both?  Hmpf, can't
remember!

Anyone else think this might be the same thing?
