SYMPTOMS
The memory test performed by HIMEM.SYS version 3.10 may fail (possibly
causing your system to stop responding [hang]) if your machine uses a
hardware cache controller.
CAUSE
Some hardware cache controllers do not handle 16-megabyte and
32-megabyte memory boundaries well. As a result, the HIMEM.SYS memory
test fails.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, disable the hardware cache controller or
contact your hardware vendor for assistance.
