You are totally missing the point, bro.

The question really is: how much data corruption is occurring that _does not_ cause world ending segfaults? THAT is what you need to worry about. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

That is some amazingly selective memory corruption, homeboy. How whack is it that it is causing neither widespread segfaults nor widespread reports of creeping data corruption despite these VMs having logged billions of hours of CPU time in production all over the planet, dawg?

And yo check this: maybe this "fatal flaw" is actually just an edge case bug that isn't cropping up much in practice. Fo'shizzle!

And maybe we can drop the ridiculously asinine slang and douchey bravado, "bro".

the gzip bug mentioned did not segfault. it simply corrupted the gzip file in memory. not that selective son.

imma talk the way i talk and dont give a fuck if you like it or not.
