I replaced one, then the other CPU in this machine over the last 3
months.   It works great for a few weeks, then dumps again.   Now, it's
every couple of days.

I've cvsupped the kernel source from the release tree to make sure
I had the latest patches just in case.   I'm at a loss to what's causing
this.   I've got a similarly equipped AS4100 at home, that's running
fine with the same code.   This is a web and border mail server, but
it's not very heavily loaded.   I'm guessing that the perl script is my 
MRTG
scripts that run every 5 mins or so.

It crashed again last night..


unexpected machine check:

     mces    = 0x1
     vector  = 0x670
     param   = 0xfffffc0000004838
     pc      = 0x1601fdd10
     ra      = 0x1601fda8c
     curproc = 0xfffffc00301cf490
         pid = 29125, comm = perl5.8.6

panic: machine check
cpuid = 0
Uptime: 10h40m39s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
Rebooting...

Since I've replaced both processors, what should I do next?
