Interesting. This kind of discussion crops up in the yearly "help my machine
is sig 11-ing everything"--threads on freebsd-hackers/questions. The outcome
is rather different over there, usually along the lines of "Just replace the
RAM and don't even think of bloating the kernel with bad memory detectors".
Is the Alpha memory management so much better that we can reliably detect
the bulk of the memory errors, or is it that Alpha RAM isn't as cheap as the
sand it was molten from and thus more precious?
