I dont think this is "good". Back in the XT days we used to get a false parity error every once on a while on an ISA card...taking the machine down on a bit error (which XTs used to do) was completly wrong and unnecessary. If you are using the box as a router, you dont want the machine to do down because of a memory error, or in this case, a non-error. It should certainly be optional. If you are running a R/O or flash system there is no harm in keeping the machine running if possible.
