Because memtest86 doesn't catch all memory errors, while a kernel
compile stresses the system in ways memtest86 doesn't. Some memory
errors only happen when there is IO going on at the same time, which is
exactly what a kernel compile does. For more information, see the sig11
FAQ at http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ .
