Ah, I thought that would have been your first thought.  That's why I
mentioned grandmother and eggs ;-)

However, Colin Watson thinks that the problem is *still* the memory,
since I'm getting segfaults in

There are differences beyond the obvious parity non parity etc.  There
are different speeds within the designated types - PC100, PC133 etc,
etc  I've come across problems trying to use two PC 100 sticks in the
past.  One was a lower rated speed than the other.  However, in this
case it shouldn't matter 'too' much as you are after a single stick.

I have never come across a decent site on the net yet that has helped
me to identify memory from the serial numbers on it.  But perhaps
somebody knows of an obscure site?
