Personally I would, if I saw such an error, immediately stop the system, run memtest86+ on it, and either replace the faulty RAM or, if no problem is found, do the reconstruction on a different mainboard. Bit errors scare me. The idea that the problem will propagate to some unknown area of a presumed-good array scares me even more.
