What do you guys mean by "fried" SIM cards?

I just don't see how a SIM can be damaged, the circuitry on the phone is limited on how much current it can send to the SIM (6-50mA). The memory on the SIM is both volatile and non-volatile with a main IC but I just don't see how a piece of software can cause this?
