I'm thinking it is bad memory. It seems unlikely bus
problems could alter only ONE BIT per word, so I think it is
just a bad memory chip, and finding multiple words where the
010000 bit is now turned on sure looks like that kind of
problem. It could, of course, be a bad driver or receiver
on the memory board. Might also check the other voltage in
the memory array (+12 or whatever was used internally in the
particular memory) and also look for degraded caps on the board.
