I finally got back to this ThinkPad R51 stability problem and was able
to definitively assign blame to a defective (at least in this box)
memory module. Defective memory was suggested on list as a probable
cause, so thank you. I first used the "mem=1G" kernel boot parameter to
limit memory used

I apologize, Sven, for not following up on your suggestion. Or rather
for not mentioning my followup in my last post. I did look at the

Thanks to everyone who read and/or responded to my query. I've got some
additional information that may prompt some additional discussion.

fault. I had run memtest86+ before I made the initial posting and hadn't
gotten any fa

It definitively sounds like a hardware problem, but I just wanted to
address the above. Debian have quite a few -dbg packages. For emacs

The ThinkPad R51 is a solid machine. Don't let anyone tell you
