I haven't had the attention span for more than short pick-up-and-play sessions lately, so I've been trying out Psycho Pinball for the Sega Genesis on my handheld emulation console. I'm not very good at it, but I'm having fun!

The real underlying issue here is that the OS interfaces these programs rely on are extremely error-prone and difficult to use correctly. A naive implementation of these system utilities in any language is basically guaranteed to stumble into bugs and vulnerabilities like the ones described in the linked message.
