Yes, I wondered what happened to that.

Hmm, TCG only - I don't know much about that; but I guess something must
be accessing memory without using the proper macros/functions so
it doesn't mark it as dirty.

I'm pretty sure that means it's a bug. Hard to find though, I guess
at least memtest is smaller than a big OS. I think I'd dump the whole
of memory on both sides, hexdump and diff them - I'd guess it would
just be one byte/word different, maybe that would offer some idea what
wrote it.
