I removed what was extracted right away and tried again to extract
the tree (at this point, suspecting even that something in software

rebooted the system an the problem magically went away.
This rings a bell, recently I reported a problem: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.1/1332.html Thanks for the information. I am on-and-off experimenting with goldmemory and memtester86+ to see if I can find something with more than 512MB that is stable. I am, right now, using 512MB + 256MB slowed down to PC100 speeds. It seems to be stable with this configuration (having survived some memory tests, the decoding of lots of FLAC files in a row and using the machine as usual---with low consumption things like mutt and browsing with lynx). Turned out to be bad memory stick :o)
The thing is that any stick alone doesn't seem to generate a problem. Only when they are used simultaneously I will test it more to see what may be wrong with my setup. :-( I still have not isolated and understood the problem completely. :-( Thanks for the feedback, Rogério. -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@ime.usp.br : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ | ||||||||||
