I ordered another set of memory sticks.  I figure I will have to send
them both back which means no memory at all.  I wasn't planning to go to
128GBs yet but guess I am now.  Once new ones come in, I'll start
working on getting them swapped.  I don't recall ever having a memory
stick go bad before.  I've had to reseat one before but not just plain
go bad. 

I noticed that that qtweb package now wants 32GBs of space to build
now.  Dang, I feel for someone using a Raspberry Pi.  That thing is
getting really big.  I didn't set up swap so I had to create a swapfile.
