At this point, it often starts segfaulting again, until I (again) rm the .bin files. I can make always make it seg fault by repeatedly doing an apt-get update. Something is definitely screwed somewhere... Woooahhh!!! I just swapped the two 4MB SIMMs to each other's slots. After rebooting, I can no longer cause the seg faulting. (And I *have* rebooted the machine before without curing the problem). Might be bad memory! ;-) (Or even bad seating?) Now if someone could recommend some good memory diagnostics...
