So there we go. You can have a faulty RAM stick and memtest86+ might not show up any problem. bonnie -s 2048 (for a 2GB machine) however caused the error to manifest.
The same happens to me (with Tyan 2882). Not only bonnie, but even a small C program like that: while (1) { p = malloc(10*Mbyte); memset(p, 0, 10*MByte); } crashes the machine, as soon as the system starts to swap. What is the solution? BIOS update and/or memory update?
Cheers, Mike
