That was my original concern, but they checked the machine, found  
nothing wrong with either drive or machine itself. He took the RAM  
out, tested them one by one, ran it overnight, found nothing. He ran  
every diagnostic that he had, because I kept insisting that there was  
a problem, and he couldn't find it because he didn't reenact the  
install the way that I had; he had already initialized the drive from  
his startup HD, so the problem was gone.

I made it happen 3 times in a row when I was testing... always the  
same. Have you tried installing OS X Server 10.4.7 on one of the new  
quad-core Macs? This may be machine-specific; I never had this  
problem on any of my other OS X Server machines.
