Thanks to those who responded to my question, which sought an explanation for
the following message:
"Too many processor corrected errors detected on cpu0. Reporting suspended.
Machine check error corrected by processor."
Based on the below reply from alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com, I have chosen not to get
worried (yet). I went fishing for the message to return by re-logging into
root several times and rebooting. but it hasn't reappeared. I also have played
telephone tag with DEC support and will forward their advice if I ever get it!
