[PD] a philosophical question

[Andy Farnell]

The hardware may also be at fault. Most modern dynamic memory
controllers have such good error checking and correction that
bad memory is rare to see these days. However, it can still 
happen. Wild pointers and values throw up segfaults and arithmetic
exceptions, so the bug patern is 'no pattern', just unpredictable
madness. The main cause of hardware related memory errors is 
overheating.
