I've run it 4 times now, and it is not exactly consistent.  Its 
always in cc.  I am beginning to suspect a memory failure.  However, 
the unit is completely open, no case.   In a very cold room.  There 
is only one memory card so I can't play with that.  I will try a 
buildkernel and see if that survives.
