 similar on your machine and confirm you're not seeing any other symptoms

 problems you're seeing in other tickets, strongly hint at hardware issues.

 Earlier I ran 9h of memtest, then was told (in IRC) that many times it
 does not reveal faulty memory... Then, I started 3 parallel kernel
 compiles (different kernel versions) and after those were well started (in
 the actual compiling), I started two instances of stress. With these
 options: stress -c 6 -m 6 -d 6 -i 6 -t 50m and the second: stress -c 12 -m
 12 -d 12 -i 12 -t 120m ... Those hogged the box with load averages being
 over hundred. And swap was atleast 1GB in use, when normally it's at 0kB.
 Stresses ended with "succesful run completed in xxxx seconds" lines... cpu
 did not reach 60C, motherboard did not reach 45C. Kernel compiles were
 succesful without errors. All this time there were 2 commflaggins running
 (from HD channels). Nothing crashed. Can we rule out HW failure? I'm
 running debian sid, update it usually before compiling latest svn version.
