Ah, that tells you have a problem. It unfortunatly, doesn't distinguish a bad memory module from a bad memory bus. One of my abits blew up a bit ago with SIGSEGVs, I swapped memory in and around till I got to the point that I realized that as long as I didn't populate the last DIMM slot, it worked fine.
