I was asked this question during an interview for another software company. The answer I pulled out of my butt was that fixing one bug might beget other unforeseen ones. I don't know how heavily they weighed my answer to that question, but I got the job.

Amazing question, it shows that you think about other people you might influence or inconvenience.
