Expecting the developers to add in code to check for rare events like
this just doesn't happen.

Sorry, but I'm a developer and I program the odd-event handlers first
because I *need* that info when things go "bang".

Okay, I'm an exception because my programs must work 100% of the time
or say what was wrong so the problem can be fixed fast. For some
reason, when you manage 10-20 billion dollars' investments, they want
things to balance to the penny every day.

Still, I can attest it really takes no real effort to output error
messages whenever some action gives an unexpected result.
