Jordan,

First, I agree he should stop overclocking.  But, there really
is a *subtle* bug.  I've 4 to 5 crashes, but I haven't been
able to get a dump.

I've created and deleted 100's of MB of files (e.g., several 
make worlds).  Then, on a seeming idle system, simply reading
email can cause the problem.
