The question is how many remain to be found!
It's inevitable, that's why a code base should live ina "bugs will happen, let's make it easier to find and fix" mentality IMHO.

Bugs will happen - that's as close to a guarantee as can be in computers. But, perhaps the problem with many modern programs is that they tend towards the 'do everything in a single interface and include everything, including the kitchen sink' and not the traditional UNIX way of 'do one thing and do it well'.
