Hi,

Yep. I've also noted that some days/times I can run it many times in
a row with no problems, whereas other days/times it fails almost every
time I run it. I'm thinking there may be an interaction with some
other software on my machine that isn't running all the time.
My guess: kernel memory fragmentation (try not rebooting and see
if it gets worse over time). May point to a bug in the OS or may
trigger application bugs. It may even uncover rare hardware
problems (TLB, northbridge, memory timing). Recent Intel/AMD
errata lists are full of stuff that only happens under very weird
circumstances.
Next guess: overclocking and/or temperature sensitivity. How's
the weather been in Texas lately? ;-)
[If you're able to reproduce it on at least one other box, I'll
offer you one hour free consulting under NDA (to finally get this
thing off the list :-) ).]
Bye,
Mike
