Thanks to rapid responses by

 system administration account <sysadmin_at_astro.su.se>
"O'Brien, Pat" <pobrien_at_mitidata.com>


who point out that "Processor Machine Check" as a panic string points
unambiguously to a hardware problem. The phrase oddly didn't grab my
attention (the word "check", perhaps). I've executed sys_check -escalate
and will be sending the results to Compaq. Meanwhile, we continue to push
the processors hard and see if the problem happens again.

Cheers
Chris
