Interesting. Of course, it is totally Schrodinger until you perform a core dump analysis (to determine whether it is a hardware or a software fault)

No, it fails in different places each time. It's hardware.

And I wasn't really pushing Sun as a good solution for a media server -- an old-model but decent-brand PC would be cheaper and quieter -- but I reckon they're better value than RiscPCs if a secondary goal here is playing with honourable antiques or with Linux.
