Memory tests were run and no problems were reported.   With MonetDB+bad memory I would expect to lose some data and no data was lost here.

This couldn't be a case of bad memory could it?  I'm more of a user of
Postgres and it happens surprisingly often there---i.e. PG misbehaves,
user goes away and runs a RAM tester and it reports some bad memory.

Symptoms are about right; code running for a reasonable amount of time
with what (in my experience, but not sure if this applies here) is
normally a regular workload and spontaneously something breaks.
