Linux -t flac command line reports randoms "MD5 Mismatch" er

Hi everyone,

I've been using FLAC Frontend for a long time on Windows and naturally needed that vital application on my new Linux.
I'm running a Mandriva PowerPack 2006 with flac 1.1.2.

Whenever i type in the following command line, it reports 2-5 our of 25 "MD5 Mismatch" errors for random files (not the same if i run several tests) : flac -t *.flac
I also unsuccessfully tried [flac -t -8 *.flac] or [flac -t -1 *.flac] (even if i'm not really sure the quality level is sensitive or even taken into account  when performing thetest).

Did anyone already had this kind of issue ? I have searched the forum for this topic and didn't find any previous answer that would help me through.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Meg

Have you tried checking your RAM? I recommend memtest86+.

hardware problem.
FLAC FAQ: I compressed a file to FLAC with verify on, and flac said "Verify FAILED!" Why?

Could you consider linking to memtest86+ instead, please? It's newer, and supports AMD64, I believe.
