Re: Unable to --rebuild postgresql-7.1.2-4PGDG.src.rpm

As it turns out, you were right about the memory.  I used the memchecker
you referenced and indeed, it seems that one of my 128mg simms had some
bad spots in it.  I had it placed above the 256meg simm, so I imagine it
would be rare if things went wrong.  I've got a Duron 900, but I don't
over clock it, so of course that isn't it.

If I recall correctly, that simm had a life time warranty.  Now to see
if I can figure out how to make good on that...

Thanks!
