On a non ECC system, single and multi-bit memory errors just go undetected and do not cause any halt. When they occur at an appreciable rate, there will probably a lot of mysteriously crashing programs. At still a higher rate, the entire system will crash or hang. But there is no deterministic behaviour that you can analyze. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
