In cause and effect, the two are precisely the same. The program with
the potential buffer overflow works for inputs of a certain size, but
fails catastrophically when input exceeds that size. That program is
seldom documented with a description of this limit. The Ariane 4 SRI
program worked fine for BH in a certain range, but failed
catastrophically when input exceeded that range. That range was not
documented.
Please tell me what you perceive as the meaningful difference between
the two cases?
