I found that even with downgrading to the same BIOS as the working systems,
the problem on the newer SR2500 systems remains!  There must have been a
recent change in the hardware causing this, or some arcane BIOS setting
that I am overlooking.  I still need to rule out our PCI hardware as the
source of the problem, since PCI parity errors seem to be a usual source
of NMIs, but I thought there would be a standard error code in that case...
