The non-maskable interrupt/TRAP 2 is indeed used to signal a parity
error.  Sounds like you've got a bad memory board (or some other problem 
that is masquerading as such!).

If you are US corporation developing OS/2 applications you can try
joining their "Developer Assistance Programm".  I've heard it is a good source
of information, though I have no access myself.
Otherwise, if you're an IBM Corporate customer with access to IBMlink, you can
in theory report problems, ask for help etc. there.  I've never found it 
much use. 
For everyone else, the dealer network is supposed to deal with all 
your problems.  As everybody except IBM knows, that is worse than useless. 
 
Best source of answers to questions is right here on comp.os.os2.*. Not 
from IBM, but from people who at least know what it is. There are even
some Micrsoft programmers who jump in with answers often.
