This is every chip designer's worst fear.  With software and to a
large extent, FPGAs, bugs can be corrected in the field.  But with
ASICs, you're screwed.  IIRC, bugs in my first major ASIC cost my
employer many tens of thousands of dollars for a respin.  Fortunately,
they had written the budget up front to assume this.
