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.
