Maybe cascade was the wrong word. I meant that if you pop in a hot spare and it's running the same software, there's a good chance it will encounter the same issue, sometimes immediately.

In some cases redundant software is developed independently by different teams to the same spec; I think I read about that with the Space Shuttle.

How correlated are your layers of swiss cheese...?
