(First, I defer to Marin Condic's analysis (search cla for: condic
ariane 5).
Unlike me he knows about this.)

In fact I thought I was paraphasing Marin Condic's conclusions, but I
might
have dreamt it!

I still find the summary I gave plausible: as soon as they disabled
the
checks on the infamous variable there is no reason why a different set
of requirements or specifications would have to be, or would have
been drawn up for C, Ada, Fortran etc versions of the software.

Cheers
Jonathan
