Thanks! ;) Thats what my research is about - To test the effect of neutron 
induced errors on memories, processors etc.

I have seen this only once. So as of now it is not reporoducible, and i 
definitely cannot predict if and when it can occur. Also I am not familiar 
with activating debug flags, Is there any document that i can refer to for 
these.. or is it something i have to figure out myself? Thanks!
