If Linux showed weird behaviour as well, I would not have reported this.

I'll let memtest run now to see if everything is smooth.

Storage: Local single ATA harddisk (IBM DTLA type), UDMA33, short (15"
or something) 40-pin cable, local ATAPI CD-ROM (old 36X Pioneer, using
multiword DMA with Linux).
