A more precise report and duplication:
	SIMM (module number)	= 7
	Hard error	
	Byte in error (0-3)	= 0
	data bit error
	Hard errors for this SIMM	= 1
	Physical address of error	= 0xe4f2ec
	Exception PC			= 0x8011ac90
	Virtual address of error	= 0xc36482ec

(the numbers are from scribbling on a piece of paper. The text is from
the kernel executable...)

To duplicate the error:
	boot (single user)
	fsck
	. /etc/rc
	/simm_test
	(for some reason merely running /simm_test from single user
mode doesn't trigger the failure.)
