Bug description:
  At September 2013, after more than 2 years since 4.20, 5.01 is finally
  out and the development of Memtest86+ is now fully resumed.

  Please merge memtest86+ 5.0.1 release from Debian - memtest86 4.2.0 in
  Ubuntu 13.10 is 2 years old and doesn't support lots of current
  hardware :(

  WARNING: currently memtest86+ 5.01-1 from Debian package has important bug - it always reboots at the start of tests, maybe this issue is related to new gcc version, see redhat-bugs #1013110 and this:
  http://forum.canardpc.com/threads/83443-Memtest86-V5.01-crashes-with-gcc-4.7.2-or-later

  Bellow is debian/changelog entry:

  memtest86+ (5.01-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
    * New upstream release (Closes: #727638).
      * Drop makeiso.sh fix for genisoimage, integrated upstream.
      * Refresh multiboot patch, but do not include additional fix for
        #568176 yet (needs more work).
      * Call build target explicitely, since the default target now attempts
        an scp.
    * Include chineses translations for package descriptions (Anthony Wong
      <ypwong at gmail.com>, Closes: #741432)
    * Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge (Luke Faraone /
      Ubuntu, Closes: #587340)
    * Remove leading ./ in lintian-override paths so they get recognized again.
