Making really robust software can be damn difficult. Sometimes this is due to the tools used in programming not being geared towards making robust code. Other times it's because the universe is really good at throwing unusual events at you.
Unusual events are a certainty. Any one type of event is rare, but there's so many types it's certain that something will happen.
Professional programming tip: use tools that force you to check operations succeed, and then do that.
