SunOS 4.x had an interesting approach to parity errors.  1) If the
page was unmodified and backed by some disk it would just get it from
disk.  2) If it was uncorrectable it would kill only that process.

I'm not sure 2) was all that much of a wonderful idea since a system
running on auto-pilot could merrily run with some vital daemon dead.
A reboot might actually be a better no-brainer.
