This would be the second 2 fatal flaws with Agile.

Developer's choice

1 and done mentality/management. Actually that is better than some of 
the Agile groups at equipment manufacturers, some of them demand their 
developers commit 3 completed stories per day.

Big ugly Ogre on steroids type bugs don't get fixed, they simply rot 
until the product/company goes away. Moral is high but product quality 
is low.

On my current project, counting by the calendar, various team members, 
myself included, have put in over 1 month tracking down a memory leak 
problem. Each of us have found various parts of it, but there was 
nothing Agile about it. This was old school grind it out trouble 
shooting which is not allowed under Agile. Valgrind was near useless 
because it slowed the target down enough to require nearly a full 
overnight run but with Valgrind and the app running you ran out of 
memory within a few hours.

We may well have found the last piece of it on Friday, but, the bug 
would never have existed had the holy 4 SDLC documents been done prior 
to writing the first line of code.
