[Bug 1071209] Re: memtest86 test #7 fails (random number sequence error)

[ofb]

Me too. Xubutnu LiveCD 12.10. Whereas the memtest86 4.20 on Hiren's
(DOS) works fine. Got me on Asus boards P4R800-VM, P4S533-X, and
P4P800SE.

(Yeah, I was kinda deep before I figured it out. I was running two
different test disks at once, so took a while to realize it wasn't the
sockets or the RAM I was rotating through.)

This really needs to be on the 12.10 Release Notes by now. We've got a
Red Hat report of it as early as March.

So, who updates the Release Notes? Do they get information get passed up
from here, or is there a way I should send them the heads-up directly?

Thanks.

Title:
  memtest86 test #7 fails (random number sequence error)

Status in “memtest86+” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Trying to check the memory at newly bought notebook I found a bug in
  the memtest86+ version 4.20 in ubuntu 12.10, in ubuntu 12.04 it is ok.
  The bug is reported at least in Fedora and Opensuse. It is assumed
  that the bug is caused by the gcc-4.7.

  It is easily  reproducible - select the test #7 in memtest or just
  wait till it - starting from the 129Mb it will report a lot of errors.
  I have checked it on three different systems , two of them I use on a
  daily basis and would note if RAM is really bad.
