Thanks so much for this information!  So my error is "Processor
Uncorrectable".  I'm hoping for the "read of non-existant I/O space"
scenario.  My system has been running non-stop for months with no problems
(at least not this one).  What is your opinion on whether or not I should
worry about my hardware?  I'll try the SRM test/excer commands when I get
home.

thanks,
