FYI, bad Myrinet cables do not produced corrupted data, there is 
a hardware CRC check on the NIC. Corrupted packets are just dropped, 
so symptoms of bad cables are messages timing out or very slow. 
You can look at the number of bad CRCs (badcrc_cnt) with "
gm_counters" (if you are using GM).

In the context of Keaton's failure, bad memory is certainely the 
problem. Usually, if things works after cooling the unit, it's 
very likely to be overheating hardware.
