Have you run memtest86+?
No. Would this specific problem (presumably with the process table) be
characteristic of a RAM problem?
Could happen. It's always worth checking. I've seen memory issues cause
all kinds of weird problems. I've also seen a lot of memory problems
lately. In fact, I'm running tests on new stick I got that doesn't seem
to play nice with the existing stick in a system.
It was a warranty replacement on another stick that went bad. Both are
the same model number but this new one seems to need a different BIOS
setting. The system actually booted and ran fine, but I decided to run
memtest86+ on it and was shocked to receive tens of thousands of errors.
Conversely, two other systems I look after were constantly acting up
with just a few memory errors reported by memtest.
Another problem could be your motherboard. Have you tried booting
from a (different distro) live CD to see if the problem occurs on it
too?
It's only happened once, total.
If it's not repeatable, then you can't tell if you've fixed it.
