For instance, check out . That article blaims coders and buffer overflow errors for the Ariane 5 fiasco. I thought it was a management issue to reuse of a software module which worked ok for the Ariane 4? That data valid for the Arian 5 was invalid data for Arian 4 (due to their differing flight characteristics), and that the module perfomed as it should have if it were in an Arian 4? i.e. the software worked ok, it was just in the wrong rocket. Perhaps someone should tell them. Chris
