Segfault Suggestions?

[Peter King]

I've recently come into possession of a Dell Dimension v350, 
which is an old PII 350MHz computer with 128MB RAM. The problem
is that it (apparently randomly) segfaults. So far it has crashed
while running cdparanoia (but not cdrecord), apt-get, links, and
a few other programs. The crashes are not reproducible: running
the same program again usually works. The same phenomenon comes
up under kernels 2.2.20, 2.4.24, and 2.6.2, running Debian Stable
or Testing (depending).

That makes it sound like hardware. So I ran 10 iterations of memtest 
overnight, but, after freezing the first time, it then turned up no 
memory errors at all. (Nor did it segfault, apparently.) So I guess
it isn't the memory. Good thing, since I don't have any spare memory
for that vintage machine lying around.

So: If it isn't the software and it isn't the memory, what should I
look at next?

If the answer is "the CPU" -- how do I test that? I don't have a
spare PII lying around...

Any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
