Let me repeat: There was no programming error. The software was correct for the Ariane 4. If at all it was a deployment or management error in installing Ariane 4 software on the Ariane 5. > By doing that, they guaranteed failure of the mission. If you load 5 metric tons onto a pick up designed for a 300kg load then it is *NOT* the suspensions fault that the under vehicle kisses the ground and the vehicle won't move metre any more. And the suspensions engineers did not “guaranteed failure of the mission” but the idiot you ordered the cargo to be deployed.
