Define critical.  It's saying that your system is working 100% normal, but
that there's something iffie about the DIMM.  Everything becomes critical if
you get carried away.

That's not entirely true.  It's just as able to ensure integrity as it was
before this warning came up; it's entirely unable to *ensure* integrity.  It's
saying that it's corrected more single bit errors than it thinks appropriate.
But it is saying that it's correcting them, and nothing bad has happened as a
result.

As would I.
