TBH I'd be highly surprised if that were the problem. Memory faults on modern
computers usually result in crashes due to corrupted pointers, rather than
actual bogus data. (One of the older memory tests was to continuously rebuild
the Linux kernel for 12 hours. That's a *lot* of pointers. If it got through
that, provided you managed to make it use all the memory, you were probably
fine.) Still, it's best to be sure.

Can you give an example of one of the things that went wrong? For example,
line of code, before-and-after values for the variables?
