memtest86 and memtest86+ lockup with Gateway 9715

The following info is for memtest86+ as well.
Here's our scenario. We ran memtest86 on our new Gateway
9715. This box only connects keyboard and mouse via USB.
When running memtest86, unplug the USB connections and
reconnect. Memtest86 will lock up. I suspect it's the
USB driver in whatever kernel memtest86 uses.
Now, I tried unplugging and reconnecting the USB cables
when a RHEL AS 3 OS was running and there were no problems.
I tried this numerous times.
