My favorite is not a bug workaround but for a limitation in the GUI library used. I worked on an enterprise job scheduler that was initially outsourced to an Indian company but the project started failing and so we took back development. The software was required to be able to schedule tasks with a delay of up to a hundred or so hours but the GUI library only had a control for time of day up to 24 hours. The code we received had an interesting solution - they changed the format string to place the milliseconds part first and then some code in the data access layer that swapped hours and milliseconds back and forth on reads and writes. And there you have it, delays up to 999 hours.
