Shit happens to the best programmers. The only thing to prevent such things is to check the code. Therefore, you need another person trying to test the code and you need a specification for the code so you can really check the code against another artifact. But obviously nobody bothered. That's why in housing the architect plans the building and at least two structural designer check the design (at least in Germany that is).
