Instead a panic is done ;-) Ecc errors are tolerated: Jul 11 13:50:00 hurricane /kernel: Warning: received processor correctable error. This is an AS600 5/266. I'm pretty sure its an ecc error because it complained of them fairly bitterly back when it was running Tru64. I think the problem is that memory which is totally broken and generates a machine-check when accessed is not tolerated by FreeBSD, but is tolerated by Tru64. Somebody once told me that Tru64 probes all the memory and is smart enough to not use bad memory, that's probably how it survives on your machine..
