Not a real problem, it will probably only happen once in the lifetime of
the CPU. ie: it is more likely to re-occur if you replace the CPU.

The newer chips have mirrored e-cache so the problem doesnt occur as
often. I think this is only in the UltraSparc II chips, not the UltraSparc
IIi or IIe. Even with the mirrored e-cache the problem still occurs, but
no where near as likely as before the mirrored ecache was avail. (It
happened at work a couple of months back)

The Ultrasparc III chips have ECC cache. Way less likely to have a
problem. :-)

Basically: Dont worry about it. :-)
