This is true, but I've had systems that rebuilt kernels all day long and
still had bad memory.

The true test for me is running an entire NetBSD build for a different
architecture (say, "vax' :-) This is what kick up a bad memory problem
for me.

(I have to say, they NetBSD folks have done an amaxing thing - you can
build for any architecture on any posix machine.  a nice trick.)

but don't worry, I run quasijarus on my vax :-)
