ECC and it should be a few cosmic rays :0) but I wouldn't try to write code to work with random bit changes, but implement distributed protocols that can handle a bit of hostility in the data center. Although when the people calling your libraries are bad enough in your call chain, I have found it worth changing the opaque void * from a pointer to a hash value that you look up in an "allocated" structures hash and can return an error rather than dereferencing when they call stuff 5 minutes after calling "de-alloc." (To stop complaints from people calling de-alloc, then calling "do-something" then crashing then blaming my code because I de-ref the opaque pointer.
