I use Qualitas 386Max program which helped me to diagnose a problem with faulty
memory. The funny thing is, I realized my memory was corrupted whenever my
available RAM or resources dropped to a particular level. Not that I was out
of either by any means, but that a particular address would always cause the
the whole system to crash... then resulting in an EMM386 error #6.

Hope this helps... patrick
