So, I'm stilling having problems with this hardware; however, now it's with
xen 2.0.6, and 2.6.11.9.

The symptoms are like memory corruption; bzip2 reported inconsisent checksums;
/var/lib/dpkg/diversions was all nulls.  Successive logins returned varying
syntax errors in /etc/bash_completion, with the last login having no errors.

However, memtest86+.bin reported no problems at all.

I'm at a loss as to explain this; the exact same hardware has been running a
production server for over a year now, without any problems whatsoever.  This
issue is solely occuring inside xen.
