rocket, which happened less than a minute into the launch, was
traced to behavior around an overflow condition (in this case, it
was software, not hardware, that was the problem). One of the
computers on board had a floating point to integer conversion
that overflowed, but because the overflow was not handled by the
software the computer did a dump of its memory. Unfortunately,
this memory dump was interpreted by the rocket as instructions
to its rocket nozzles. Result--boom!
