I dont know if it will work on all motherboards, but the code looked
really stupid because it allowed people to type 'c' at the DDB prompt
after an NMI and when the NMI was a memory parity error, you dont want
to do that.  This happened to us on a machine and I thought that was
quite stupid.  Its a harmless change I believe.
