I had a 3.1 (stable from  5/3) system that suddenly started the
spontaneous reboot problem, but it turned out to be bad EDO non-parity
ram. I replaced the ram and the world has been happy ever since. 

The only symptoms were random traps, mostly SEGVs and core files.

I'm curious if anyone experiencing this problem is _not_ using 32 bit
EDO ram. Has anyone experienced this using ECC ram?

Another question for the developers: what symptoms would I see if a
disk block in a swap partition were bad and no more blocks could be
remapped?

Thanks
