If your Linux hardware was originally a Mac, then Techtool Pro 2.5 is
checking memory and finds bad ones. My Mac OSXS at home - a BSD4.4 variant
from Unix point of view - was unable to get to the Workspace Manager.
Reason for it was a bad 32MB DIMM and TechtoolPro found it. If your
hardware is a PC, then I have no clue.
