As someone who works in support, customers (at least the ones I support) REALLY need a clear and obvious crash to understand something's wrong. That really forces them to "do something differently" and/or look for help. You're correct in that it's not a good user experience. Neither is chaos.

Exactly. "Undefined behavior" includes showing private data to the wrong user and booking ten times more orders than the user originally indicated. I'll take crashing over that.
