Following on from which, if I really want to test the box I do 3 kernel
compiles on the trot.  I once had some iffy RAM (a whole 1G of it) which
could just get through 1 compilation but tended to fail on the 2nd.  I
ended up doing 3 compilations just to be *really* sure the replacement
stuff was OK.
