11.2-ms8: memtest86 crashes

The memtest86 (v2.01) offered in grub menu crashes on my machines: 2 * DELL 600 (PentiumM), DELL GX280(P.4). There are lot of false positive reports, lateron the screen will be filled with colored symbols.

The latest v 3.5 offered on memtest86.com runs perfectly for multiple passes on all my machines with none of my memory defective.

Is there any reason for this old version being included in the openSuSE releases ?

thanks,
Markus.

M8 is old, RC1 has memtest86±4.00
