Short answer: The Sig is an example for the extremely bad programming practice of Microsoft.
Detailed explanation: The company is well-known to hire talented, but ignorant people that are capable but not knowledgeable to create lots of code. The Sig is an example where a very important function is implemented in a way that is perfectly resource-harming and insecure. This type of memory-leaking and resource-waste is one of the reasons for the continued great instability of Microsoft code.
