Oh great gurus...

The other day I noticed the following message on my console (AlphaServer
1000A, DU 4.0b):

Machine Check error ffffff00018705bf Corrected ECC error in
Memory during D-Cache fill
        Fill syndrome = 00000000000000b5
Single Bit error in Quadword 0 at bint <47> in a Data bit
        EI address = ffffff00018705bf
        EI Status = fffffff0c1ffffff
        Interrupt Status Reg = 0000000100000000
        ECC Syndrome = 0000000000000000
        Memory Port 0 Status Register = 0000000000000000
        Memory Port 1 Status Register = 0000000000000000
        CIA Error Status = 0000000000000000
        CIA Error Reg = 0000000000000000

The uerf entry was (which I assume was coincident):
********************************* ENTRY 1.
*********************************

----- EVENT INFORMATION -----

EVENT CLASS ERROR EVENT
OS EVENT TYPE 100. CPU EXCEPTION
SEQUENCE NUMBER 112.
OPERATING SYSTEM DEC OSF/1
OCCURRED/LOGGED ON Tue Apr 8 10:21:35 1997
OCCURRED ON SYSTEM harrier
SYSTEM ID x0007001B
SYSTYPE x00000000

Is this anything to worry about? Is it what it seems, i.e., a memory error
that was corrected by the system?

TIA.
