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 ;) )
