Was it? I don't know. The M bit is not set (SINTR_M); that seems to
be the memory error indicator, based on the code - or is that only for
machines with real ECC, not just parity?
The only bit set, SINTR_ME, is commented as "Module Error (async)" in
intreg.h. I'm not sure what to make of that, probably because I don't
really grok MBus.
