One way to get rid of it is to replace the memory chip that corresponds to the appripriate bit position and address. If you have non-Dec memory and the chips are socketed this is possible for you to do. Otherwise you'll have to have the board replaced. Actually, this is a problem you can live with, and you will probably have to do so if you have Dec memory. Since it is correctable, it shouldn't bother you except for the annoying messages every ten minutes if it is in a frequently accessed location. I have had a similar problem with 0x00023760 for a couple of months now; DEC won't replace the board because it is only a single-bit error and nothing else is affected.
