I simply mean that with that particular stick of damaged memory I ran
Ubuntu perfectly fine without rebooting for several weeks, and with
the same damaged stick Windows XP couldn't even finish installing (or
boot when I got it installed using other memory).

Since it relates to how memory is used, I only assumed that it was the
kernels that handled the errors with aplomb or not.
