W20-575-65 SGI/R5000 Cache ecc/parity errors

The machine W20-575-65, an R5000 Indy, is prone to cache ecc/parity
errors, both of the recoverable kind (i.e. a program randomly dies and
dumps core with the recoverable ecc/parity error message) and the
unrecoverable kind (the machine panics and dumps). It seems to happen
fairly frequently, around once an hour or so.
