We had trouble recently (last night that is) with something that
sounds very similar to what you described (?CPU DBL-ERR HALT, and
flaky "format errors" when booting off RP-0X disks).  However, we
only have console rev 6.  Our problem was caused by the ...
Translation Buffer!  Apparently when this board goes flaky, the
only way to find out for sure is to examime the CPU ID registers
from the console after the double error halt.  You might try running
lots of memory tests, and see if you can get it to happen that way.

So, maybe you don't have to yell at DEC.
