[luau] Re: locking server

[Eric Jeschke]

This sounds an awful lot like the memory timing problems I was having
with an Athlon system.  Turns out I had the memory BIOS (CAS Latency)
set too low.  Bumped it up a notch and all the problems went away.

In any case, memory problems can be a source of immediate lock-ups with
no obvious error message.
