Think what a bug does to cause a crash. Generally, there is a write to
some wrong place in RAM. Enforcer picks up writes to a few particularly
sensitive addresses, but a bug could cause writes to memory used by some
other program. It can change the code of that program/library/MUI class.
That means that the same bug may hit a sensitive location in one
computer and land somewhere that doesn't matter in another.
This is why we need memory management or safe programming languages.
Or, you could argue that an unprotected memory and C programming is a
good way of showing up the bugs.
