It seems logical to me that memtest invoked without any command-line
arguments should just test the memory, just as ``memtest all'' does.
There is an issue, AFAICT: the maximum addressable memory is greater
than 4095 << 20 (4G): it's 64G IIRC for the recent 2.6 kernels, and
given the very long delay between Debian releases, it seems unwise to
hard-wire it in the program code as a magic constant...
Cheers,
Jan

Guerkan is right that memtest should not do anything when called without
arguments (except showing usage message, of course).
wrt/ the maxmem size thing, i could not find any traces for that in
4.3.0, hence closing.
