Title:
  memtest86+ 4.00 released - new Intel CPU support, bug fixes, etc

Status in “memtest86+” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  Fix Released
Status in “memtest86+” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: memtest86+

  A new version of memtest86+ was released recently and should be in
  karmic if possible. There is already a bug in Debian to get it
  packaged asap. This version adds support for new unreleased Intel CPUs
  that will come out shortly after karmic and also has bug fixes for the
  new Intel CPUs released this month (Lynnfield). I just bought one and
  should have it in the next few days so can help to verify the new
  memtest86+ works properly.

  I will update this to a sync request once it is packaged for Debian
  and will include the requisite photos proving it works properly as was
  done for the update I did for Ubuntu 9.04.
