Description of problem:
Trying to run the latest memtest86+ on various hardware, even in qemu, the seventh test (Random number sequence) fails and reports errors for each address from 129 MiB on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
memtest86+ 4.20 from Fedora 17 Alpha DVD

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. qemu-kvm -m 1024 -cdrom Fedora-17-Alpha-x86_64.DVD.iso
2. choose Troubleshooting => Run memory test

Actual results:
see the attached screenshot

Expected results:
no errors

Additional info:
Initially, I've run this on Intel SandyBridge hardware - Pentium B950 with some Samsung memories, and it failed this way, leading me to unjustified warranty claim ...
After that, I've verified the same memtest behaviour on T510 with Core i7 M620, and on some older desktop with Core i5 - real hardware, proven by months of service => seeing the same all the time I've tried in qemu and it fails too.
