Just to clarify: the "just oops" obviously doesn't have to kill the machine, it depends on what your oops policy is, with the default obviously being the normal "kill that particular thread" if at all possible.
Machine-killing is appropriate in some secure situations, but most of the time it just makes it too damn hard to debug since the error often doesn't get logged. In some situations we obviously can't avoid it, but..
