memtest86 might not find all hardware/memory related problems, whilst
make -j8 buildworld still gives problems. We had this problem once and
it took some time to find out that the high-quality memory-chips and
the high-quality mainboard were not exactly compatible. In fact we
did speak with the technicians of both companies (those providing the
RAM modules and those responsible for the board).

memtest didn't show anything, but exchanging RAM modules (or board)
got rid of the errors.
