> This bug has existed since day zero, which means that it took 5 years (!) for Nintendo to track it down. Credits to whoever nameless employee at Nintendo found this bug! The attention to detail is incredible. And how do you even find / debug a bug like this? Makes you think, do Linux, Windows and Mac handle this properly? Honestly, I doubt it!
Considering the various kernel-level races in mainstream kernels (*BSD, Darwin, Linux and NT), I actually doubt that these kinds of bug are fully eliminated (only fixed in cases where such race has security implications).
