Hi All.

When i  do a memtest without any args, it crashes after printing the
first line.  I know the output may vary depending on the processor and
the memmap.
I just wanted to knoe is this tha appropiate behaviour for mtest.

Pattern 00000000  Writing...
<The serial console just freezes here, meaning an evident crash>


After reboot, when i do and md for the base address 0x0, i get the
following, which  proabbly  is the uboot image itself in RAM. So  i am
guessing, the memtest tries modifying the U-boot in memory and hence
the crash. i am not sure though Please correct me if i am wrong.

Here's the message log.
