In an article published by CNet News . com ( www . cnet . com ), there's word that " documents containing personal information could be sent to Microsoft along with debugging information in the event of a program crash ."

It features a setting where highly dangerous types of images called " basilisks " have been discovered; these images contain patterns within them that exploit flaws in the structure of the human mind to produce a lethal reaction, effectively " crashing " the mind the way a computer program crashes when given data that it fails to process.

The good news is that Unix brings with it a raft of important modern features : protected memory ( even if one program crashes, the others keep humming along ), multithreading ( software acceleration for computers with multiple processors ) and pre-emptive multitasking ( you can keep working even while other programs crunch away in the background ).

Delta Debugging has been applied to isolate failure-inducing program input ( e . g . an HTML page that makes a Web browser fail ), failure-inducing user interaction ( e . g . the keystrokes that make a program crash ), or failure-inducing changes to the program code ( e . g . after a failing regression test ).

This classification is partly based on opinion; it may imply that any operation not leading to program crashes, security flaws or other obvious failures is legitimate and need not be considered an error, or it may imply that any contravention of the programmer's explicit intent ( as communicated via typing annotations ) to be erroneous and not " type-safe ".

That also explains why I am not able to make my program crash even though I wrote a code that would require 12 GB of RAM ! ( No, my goal is not to write apps that crash-I merely wanted to find out how Delphi handles memory allocation . )-- talk ) 20 : 13, 4 April 2009 ( UTC)

If a program crash or other problem ( such as the user removing the disk while a file is open ) results in an " orphan file ", also referred to as a " poison " or " splat " file, buffers are not flushed and the BAM will not accurately reflect disk usage, putting the disk at risk of corruption.
