Final answer:

Intermittently bad RAM. Only shows up after Memtest86 has had a chance to run several passes.

Funny how the Mac and PC both crashed, but for completely different reasons.

Only one of two RAM modules is bad. Corsair, lifetime warranty in theory, but I can't find the receipt. I have the original packaging and I know where I bought it. Wonder if that's enough.
