I had the same problem with a 16 MByte 30 pin SIMM a while back that has
exactly one (1) sticky bit. When I googled back then, I found that there is
a linux kernel extension for mapping out bad memory, but I didn't find a
similar mechanism for other OSes.

OTOH, if your time is worth anything, you are probably better off by
replacing the part, since you'll be back to square one otherwise whenever
the box in question shows fishy behaviour.
