11 As Alan says, if you are using bad RAM you're playing a rather deterministic
12 game. When, not if, the hole in your memory is met by a running process the
13 output will go sideways.
14
15 If you don't want to return the memory back and get a new module, then you
16 could try the badmem or badram patches. I would recommend you get new memory,
17 but either of these patches may bring a quicker result and at least confirm
18 that the faulty memory caused the emerge failures.
