Peter,
Would it be an idea to invite people to lower the voltage on their CPUs a bit, to try and trigger #MF's?
(I started thinking about slowly overclocking the CPUs, to try and trigger them, but that's not neccesary. At lower voltages, you'll also get errors, but shouldn't risk smoking your CPU.... )
