In all these cases the likely culprit is a bug in the machinery that tracks the internal CPU state when an unlikely sequence of events happens: a rapid series of interrupt or context switches, execution timing of certain instructions while the processor leaves or enters a particular mode of execution. These are not unlikely software bugs where you missed checking a particular condition at a specific time, and most of the time it doesn't matter except for that one time when it does. 14/31
