I believe they're all like that in the UK now - I occasionally see
cashpoints with the "blue screen of death", or the Fatal Error dialog box.

Not much you can do about it, except try to make sure that your bank is
liable for fraud caused by technical failures - and keep most of your cash
in an account which doesn't have ATM (or Internet) access.
