Also i'd like to add that i had read some years back that linux tries (and maybe does a good job, but even that is not necessarily enough)
to detect and mask out bad memory address.
FreeBSD on the other hand, takes for granted that your hardware is perfect. That's why maybe, running  FreeBSD or Linux on the same
hardware might yeild different behaviors regarding memory issues.
