I'll second Bob's response.  Thank you for the breakdown.  I really
appreciated being able to see some of the complexity here.  The usual
run of the mill internet argumnets about this sort of thing tend to
involve too much of "These guys are evil!  Therefore this is wrong!"

If buffer overflows are ever controlled, it won't be due to mere
crashes, but due to their making systems vulnerable to hackers. Software
crashes due to mere incompetence apparently don't raise any eyebrows,
because no one wants to fault the incompetent programmer and his
incompetent boss. --- Henry Baker
