It was RAM.  I'd never have thought of that, but for the input from the 
list.  I was pointed at Memtest.  It came back with quite a list of 
errors, so I went back to the vendors with a transcript of the Memtest 
output, and they replaced the faulty RAM with no quibbles.  I reserve 
the right to put that down to my charm and animal magnetism, though.

A good experience all round, in the end: especially since I now don't 
have to fight segmentation faults and program crashes in order to get 
any work done.  So I'm now firmly back in the Linux-is-rock-solid class.
