Duh!  It was a _design decision_ to a) omit the handlers and b) to
_not_ test the software in the context of the new Ariane.  Everyone
has since agreed that this was (to be charitable) extremely poor
_project management_ (not software design or coding or whatever).

This has been a) reported in full in the report on the accident and b)
discussed to death on various groups.  Please get a clue before
spewing BS...
