3b1 motherboard question

On my 2 Meg motherboard at location C38, there is a capacitor whose
legs are touching.  Can somebody tell me if they have the same situation.
The capacitor is right next to the 1st row of 256K memory chips(location A2).

Since I've been having so many 'parity error' crashes, I'm hoping that
maybe this is the culprit.

Here is a basic diagram of what I see:


	    ------
	   /      \ 
	   |      | 
	   |      | 
	   \      /
	    ------
	     /  \
	     |  /
	     | /
	     |/ <---------- Touching right here!!
	     /\
	    /  \
	   /    \
        solder  solder


I know the drawing sucks but I think it gets the idea across.
Is this something that I should be worried about (causing my crashes?)
or is it like this by design?
