As far as the first two examples go, was the first one (BA038) not caused by ice restricting the fuel flow to both engines, and as such as 4-holer in the same situation would have been equally vulnerable? Likewise the other two, in which birdstrike and precipitation ingress were the problems.

I can't see anything in the linked page which explicitly specifies a software "glitch". Do you have information confirming that?
