I don't know what's with payroll management software (low-hanging government contracts ? Inter-agency factionalism ?) but every time I hear about a nationwide software-inflicted catastrophe somewhere, it's one of those.

There were quite a few families of deployed soldiers who had to deal with near-bankruptcy because of it.
