After upgrading my P133 from 32 MByte to 64 MByte, I've started getting error
messages like these:

Jul 25 18:47:35 verdi /kernel: pid 470 (netscape.bin), uid 1001: exited on signal 10
Jul 25 23:05:00 verdi /kernel: pid 529 (suck), uid 8: exited on signal 10
Jul 27 01:09:28 verdi /kernel: pid 434 (in.nnrpd), uid 8: exited on signal 10

Since signal 10 is SIGBUS, I tend to suspect that one of my new SIMMs is bad.
Are there other good suggestions? Any way to check this except start swapping
SIMMs?
