On my trusty -current/amd64 laptop, I built memtestplus-5.01nb1,

memtestplus starts on boot, I am given the option for safe mode, but come
what may, as soon as testing starts, the laptop reboots.
Does memtestplus work for you?
I've had similar failures for a couple of years now. memtestplus simply
won't work on my machine. I'm running a desktop (not a laptop) with an
ASUS X99-E motherboard, Core i7-6900K processor, and 128GB DDR4 RAM.
