Tell your boss that's an intermittant failure. The recent solar flare activity has been causing significant electromagnetic pulses to be generated through the magnetosphere causing random bits to sometimes be flipped in CPUs. Until the sun calms down, we'll just have to deal with this.

  Good luck.
