  Since I'm returning the whole thing for RMA (lacking a specific component
as a smoking gun), I started erasing some of the personal files on the
machine.  So far, in XP, it has been up 6+ hours running cygwin's "shred"
(bcwipe-like 35-overwrite secure file removal).  Basically, lots of low-CPU,
low-memory disk I/O.  No problems found thus far as another data point.
