This generally means there is a hardware problem. It usually means
you have a bug in your program or there is a hardware problem
corrupting memory. Either a SIMM is bad, or the motherboard or CPU or
cache or something is corrupting data. If this is a very old machine,
it could mean that some part is getting flakey.
