Hi all,

I've gotten a few emails like the one below since my original post about
seeing the bad slab magic corruption on a Linux server which I had been
running. From the emails I've gotten this error now spans hardware. Mine
was an Athlon. This guy is a K6-2. The only thing I am not sure of is if
one of those emails mentioned an Intel. Could something be going on here?
