ECC memory can still go bad. :-)  FreeBSD doesn't have a MCE handler so
we don't know what's going on with the memory subsystem when something
bad happens.

Chances are you don't have a memory error, but I've seen poor seating of
DIMMs, etc.. cause problems before.  So it is worth testing your memory
when you're out of ideas.
