I'm afraid this may be independent of whatever problems beagle may have;
I suspect a hardware problem, maybe (and if so, hopefully only) bad RAM,
though I ran memtest for seven hours (15 full passes) without getting a
single error.  Still, it might be helpful to find out why beagle is
eliciting these messages (and continues to do so).

I will, perhaps it will generate useful feedback.
