Trying to check the memory at newly bought notebook I found a bug in the memtest86+ version 4.20 in ubuntu 12.10, in ubuntu 12.04 it is ok. The bug is reported at least in Fedora and Opensuse. It is assumed that the bug is caused by the gcc-4.7.

It is easily reproducible - select the test #7 in memtest or just wait till it - starting from the 129Mb it will report a lot of errors. I have checked it on three different systems , two of them I use on a daily basis and would note if RAM is really bad.
