The Lombard problem may be a different issue. Paul told me his Lombard
powerbook used to have random garbage appearing in memory at a certain
location, he changed his motherboard (not the RAM module) 3 times before
getting one that didn't exhibit this behaviour :( that sucks !

The Pismo uses a completely different memory controller. It may have a
similar problem however...
