“My wife has complained that OpenOffice will never print on Tuesdays” (2009)
Did this get fixed, 7 years later?<p>Yesterday, we had a story about Microsoft's disk management service using lots of CPU time if the username contained "user".  Microsoft's official reply was not to do that.<p>I once found a bug in Coyote Systems' load balancers where, if the USER-AGENT ended with "m", all packets were dropped. They use regular expressions for various rules, and I suspect someone typed "\m" where they meant "\n".  Vendor denied problem, even after I submitted a test case which failed on their own web site's load balancer.<p>Many, many years ago, I found a bug in 4.3BSD which prevented TCP connections from establishing with certain other systems during odd numbered 4 hour periods.  It took three days to find the bug in BSD's sequence number arithmetic.  A combination of signed and unsigned casts was doing the wrong thing.
