I will run memtest this weekend, once I move some wires around so I do
not lose internet access entirely.  I'll run some stress tests that do
not require the machine to be offline in the meantime.

I certainly won't discount hardware issue being the cause.

For what it is worth, I just looked through my svn commit logs for that
machine's configuration, and the only relatively recent change that was
made was enabling powerd(8) - but that was about 3 months ago.
