The problem with this particular worm is that it isn't very subtle about it, and is known to have side-effects. I suspect this is an artifact of sloppy coding.

Are you ready to see the bits fly? Blue screen of death? More like blue screen of TRIUMPH! I smell a tasty new Comedy Central bomb in the making: “BattleWorms”
