    We may be talking about different incidents. The one that I was involved in,
    was a clear implementation mistake (a case was missed) which was the root
    cause. It should have been caught in testing if somebody had bothered to
    look at why certain LSAs were being generated. The excessive flooding was
    simply the result.

    I couldn't say this better than Tony/Joel : "at a certain point adding
    more code to an implementation introduces more bugs than the performance
    gain is worth". I (like most developers) can attest to this from first
    hand experience.
