Try

$ ./parsemce -e 0xba -b 2 -s d40040000000017a -a 0
Status: (ba) Error IP valid
Restart IP invalid.
parsebank(2): d40040000000017a @ 0
        External tag parity error
        Correctable ECC error
        Address in addr register valid
        Error enabled in control register
        Error overflow
        Memory heirarchy error
        Request: Generic error
        Transaction type : Generic
        Memory/IO : I/O

See [1] for a possible explanation. I hope the link works. It's a message
from DaveJ about the same error:
"Looks like the L2 cache ECC checking spotted something going wrong,
and fixed it up. This can happen in cases where there is inadequate
cooling, power, or overclocking (or in rare circumstances, flaky CPUs)"
