Your diagnosis is correct (the problem is poor memory management), but your remedy is wrong... The real problem is in the education of the programmers.
What's happened over the past 10-15 years is that a lot of programmers have been trained to "program" without any reference to the hardware platform(s) on which their code is supposed to run. When the programmer does not really understand what is happening in the memory at the hardware level he is unable to control the memory using software...
You think you're seeing some buggy software now? Wait until people try to write code which is not only divorced from the hardware, but divorced from the operating system as well...
Good trading,
