If the program was implemented based on the same specifications for
both languages, and hence responded in the same way to error
conditions in the same way, then both would have exactly the same
problem.
Perhaps, though a C programmer would be more likely to ignore an error
condition and pretend nothing went wrong? If so, I am not sure this is
a good strategy.
