The hardware may also be at fault. Most modern dynamic memory controllers have such good error checking and correction that bad memory is rare to see these days. However, it can still happen. Wild pointers and values throw up segfaults and arithmetic exceptions, so the bug patern is 'no pattern', just unpredictable madness. The main cause of hardware related memory errors is overheating.
